Distributed neural codes of the 3D position in the marmoset frontal cortex and hippocampus.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The neural encoding of the animal's position is essential for spatial navigation and cognition, yet the three-dimensional (3D) positioning system in the primate brain remains poorly understood. By combining wireless multi-channel recordings from common marmosets with a free-forging task in the 3D space, we identified 42% and 24% neurons in the frontal cortex (FC) and hippocampus (HPC) as place cells, respectively. Place cells in FC and HPC encoded the 3D position with similar spatial information, sparsity and stability, and exhibited stronger functional connections than non-place cells. Notably, their place fields were preferentially distributed in the center and border of the 3D space, and were recapitulated by an RNN-AutoEncoder model simulating the FC-HPC network. Collectively, these findings support a hypothesis that a widely distributed neural network involving frontal cortex and hippocampus constitutes a 3D positioning system in primates possibly by local recurrent circuits and long-range connections.
