title: A brain MRI atlas of the common squirrel monkey,Saimiri sciureus.
abstract: The common squirrel monkey,Saimiri sciureus, is a New World monkey with functional and microstructural organization of central nervous system similar to that of humans. It is one of the most commonly used South American primates in biomedical research. Unlike its Old World macaque cousins, no digital atlases have described the organization of the squirrel monkey brain. Here, we present a multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) atlas constructed from the brain of an adult female squirrel monkey.In vivoMRI acquisitions include T2 structural imaging and diffusion tensor imaging.Ex vivoMRI acquisitions include T2 structural imaging and diffusion tensor imaging. Cortical regions were manually annotated on the co-registered volumes based on published histological sections.
