This book provides accurate, comprehensive, and convenient reference for usages of the freely rotatable three dimensional combined Nissl-stained and MRI digital data of the marmoset brain. The key features of the original 3D digital data and of this atlas are: 1. The original digital datasets are freely rotatable in three dimensions, thus expected to be useful for any disciplines and anatomical interest, using any coordinate system, 2. Combined Nissl stained and MRI images are obtained from the same marmoset, to allow cross-modality matched references for multiple usages, 3. 86 Horizontal Series of Images with Neurosurgical Plane (based on the actual data), with more accuracy and resolution (Chapter 2) than the web-based digital images, 4. 32 Coronal Series of Images with Neurosurgical Plane (reproduced from the brain model) (Chapter 3), 5. 10 Parasagittal Series of Images with Neurosurgical Plane (reproduced from the brain model) (Chapter 4), 6. 3 Omnidirectionally Sliceable Planes (reproduced from the brain model) (Chapter 5), 7. In order to provide higher resolution structures to match systematic accuracy for supplementation of the digital data on the website, additional information are included. They are: 1) Nomenclature, 2) List of Brain Structures in Hierarchical Order, 3) Index of Abbreviations, together with 143 useful Bibliographic References list as of 2016, 8. Horsley-Clarke's stereotaxic coordinates were adopted in the present atlas.

Klappentext

The common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ), a New World monkey, is increasingly becoming popular world-wide in a variety of biomedical studies as a primate model of human neuro-psychiatric and biological disorders, particularly through gene manipulation technologies. This book provides accurate, comprehensive, and convenient references from combined Nissl-stained sections and magnetic resonance (MR) images of the marmoset brain. The original volume-rendered digital models are web-accessible and freely rotatable in three dimensions using any coordinate system, and as such we expect them to be useful across disciplines and anatomical interests. The combined Nissl stained and MR images were obtained from the same marmoset, thus allowing cross-modality matched references for multiple uses. This book depicts 86 horizontal series of images along the neurosurgical plane (based on the actual data), with more accuracy and resolution than the web-based digital models. From this brain model, we reconstructed 32 Coronal Series and 10 Parasagittal Series of images along the neurosurgical plane. In addition, to fully utilize the freely rotatable nature of the brain model, this atlas depicts 3 omni-directionally sliced planes that best illustrate the visual, somatosensory, and motor projection systems across the neuraxis. These datasets comprise the fundamentals of the whole database of Japan's national marmoset project (Brain/MINDS supported by MEXT and AMED, Japan), which is headed by one of the editors, Hideyuki Okano.
