Juna.Chimp Templates & Davi130 parcellation

Authors : Sam Vickery, William D Hopkins, Chet C Sherwood, Steven J Schapiro, Jona Fischer , Robert D Latzman, Svenja Caspers, Christian Gaser, Simon B Eickhoff, Robert Dahnke , Felix Hoffstaedter
Description : We provide a chimpanzee structural T1w template, chimpanzee tissue probability maps (TPM), and a manual macroanatomical parcellation of the chimpanzee brain which can be interactively viewed through a web viewer. Additionally, we supply an exemplar preprocessing pipeline using CAT12 with the required templates including a chimpanzee geodesic shooting template.

MNI-NCBR volumetric and surface templates (CIVET-chimp)

Authors : Claude Lepage, Erika Nolan, Trisanna Sprung-Much, Gabriel A. Devenyi, Michael Petrides, Alan C. Evans
Description : Symmetric chimpanzee T1w template (0.4 mm isotropic) with tissue priors and brain mask, built from 75 NCBR 3T subjects in an MNI-like orientation aligned to the AC-PC line. Accompanied by a symmetric MNI-NCBR average cortical surface (white and mid-cortical, 40,962 and 163,842 vertices per hemisphere) from 74 NCBR 3T scans, Davi130 and Chimpanzee Brainnetome (CBA) surface parcellations, and surface transforms to human MNI152 and fsaverage. Distributed as the models used by the CIVET-chimp pipeline.

National Chimpanzee Brain Resource

Authors : NCBR Team
Description : The National Chimpanzee Brain Resource (NCBR) has the aim of facilitating research advancement through the collection and distribution of chimpanzee neuroimaging data and postmortem brain tissue. The NCBR also serves as a portal to access chimpanzee brain atlas tools, data repository, bibliography of publications, educational information, and links to other chimpanzee brain resources and datasets on the Internet.
