A multifaced brain map of rhesus monkey

(a) 248 cortical subregions and (b) 56 subcortical subregions of Macaque Brainnetome Atlas. Credit: Science China Press As an ideal model for studying human cognitive function and brain diseases, macaques are highly similar to humans in genetics, physiology, and brain structure. Currently, non-human primates are considered as a core source for exploring cognitive neural mechanisms and promoting translational medicine. Therefore, a multifaced brain atlas elucidating the architecture of the macaque brain is of great significance for translating research findings from macaques to humans. Such an atlas can characterize profiles of Read More
