The current Brain/MINDS Marmoset Reference Brain is a multi-modal Nissl & MRI 3D brain atlas where the Nissl histology data has been normalized to the MRI shape. The brain region annotation is now version 6.2, revised from the Hashikawa et. al (2015). The atlas contains over 200 cortical and sub-cortical annotations per hemisphere and improves upon the work of Hashikawa et al. (2015). State-of-the-art registration algorithms were used to register the different data modalities to one another and to remove noise and artifacts. The original Nissl and parcellation data (for one hemisphere only) have been warped to match the ex-vivo MRI data, then mirrored across the sagittal plane. The brain atlas can be used for tasks such as brain region identification and data analysis, such as connectomics.
