DTI-based atlas has been created for a canine model
which could be used to investigate various white matter
diseases. DTI tractography based structural connectivity
between Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) and Posterior
Cingulate Cortex (PCC) regions of the default mode
network was computed in dogs and was compared with that
in humans to investigate evolution of cognitive
functions in humans and provide structural basis for the
dissociation of anterior and posterior parts of Default
Mode Network (DMN) found in a recently conducted resting
state fMRI study.
