The neuroanatomical atlases play an essential role for brain-related research in multiple aspects, finding and identifying the unknown structures based on known ones, guiding the invasive operations, carrying the knowledge of brain structures for education and serving as registration references for mapping the functional information. An unsolved challenge of invasive neuroscientific experiment is to link the peripheral head landmarks to the targeted brain locations. In this study, we established a comprehensive high-resolution macaque DTI atlas uniquely characterized with both ex-vivo resolution and in-vivo space so that both brain anatomy details and head landmarks are included.
