🐒 NHP Electrophysiology Literature Database (beta)

A semi-automatically generated database of monkey electrophysiology studies, built by automated PubMed search and AI-based screening and annotation. Don't trust it much.

9,674 Papers
1961–2026 Year range

Publication Volume

Total number of monkey electrophysiology papers per year included in this database.

Recording Sites & Functions

Brain regions most frequently recorded from (left) and functions most frequently studied (right), across all papers.

Journals

Most productive journals (left) and publication trends for selected journals over time (right).

Brain Region × Function Co-occurrence

How often each brain region and function appear together in the same paper. Darker cells indicate more papers studying that region–function combination.

Recording Site Trends Over Time

Percentage of papers per year that recorded from each brain region. Normalising by yearly paper count removes the effect of overall publication growth.

Cognitive Function Trends Over Time

Percentage of papers per year studying each cognitive function. Shows how research interests have shifted across decades.

Disclaimer

This database is generated with AI-assist, based on pubmed search of terms like "monkeys AND neurons" in title/abstract. Also check whether [MH] field contains macaca etc. Papers without abstract are excluded. It is then further filtered with AI, and the target brain regions, functions extracted. But perhaps, many relevant papers are missing (particularly those not including species name in title/abstract/MH), and some irrelevant papers may be included.

This database focuses on cellular-level electrophysiology (single-unit, multi-unit, and LFP recordings) in macaques and other non-human primates. It does not systematically cover EEG, fMRI, calcium imaging, or purely behavioral studies.
