Macaque monkeys are an important neuroscientific model for
understanding cortical organization of primates, yet non-human primate MRI
applications have lagged behind those developed for humans. To address this
issue, we developed a 24-channel receive coil for macaque brain imaging and
adapted the Human Connectome Project (HCP)’s image acquisition protocols matched
to monkey’s neuroanatomical resolution. By adapting HCP’s preprocessing methods
for the macaque, we demonstrate that the resulting HCP-style monkey MRI data
show great promise for multi-modal analyses of cortical architecture and
connectivity, which have previously only been possible in humans.
