abstract = {Due to their fundamental relevance, the number of
anatomical macaque brain templates is constantly growing.
Novel templates aim to alleviate limitations of previously
published atlases and offer the foundation to integrate
multiscale multimodal data. Typical limitations of existing
templates include their reliance on one subject, their
unimodality (usually only T1 or histological images), or
lack of anatomical details. The MEBRAINS template overcomes
these limitations by using a combination of T1 and T2
images, from the same 10 animals (Macaca mulatta), which are
averaged by the multi-brain toolbox for diffeomorphic
registration and segmentation. The resulting volumetric T1
and T2 templates are supplemented with high quality white
and gray matter surfaces built with FreeSurfer.
Human-curated segmentations of pial surface, white/gray
matter interface and major subcortical nuclei were used to
analyse the relative quality of the MEBRAINS template.
Recently published 3D maps of the macaque inferior parietal
lobe and (pre)motor cortex were warped to the MEBRAINS
surface template, thus populating it with a parcellation
scheme based on cyto- and receptor architectonic analyses.
Finally, 9 CT scans of the same monkeys were registered to
the T1 modality and co-registered to the template. Through
its main features (multi-subject, multi-modal,
volume-and-surface, traditional and deep learning-based
segmentations), MEBRAINS aims to improve integration of
multi-modal multi-scale macaque data and is quantitatively
equal or better compared to currently widely used macaque
templates. The template is integrated in the EBRAINS and
Scalable Brain Atlas web-based infrastructures, each of
which comes with its own suite of spatial registration
tools.},
