abstract = {Given the usefulness of the BigBrain high resolution
histological volume, it would be very valuable to have a
similar public domain resource for the macaque. Isotropic
high resolution data to build such a resource is not
currently available, but as an initial step we present a
histological volume based on the NIH Blueprint Non-Human
Primate (NHP) Atlas [1], acquired by the Allen Institute and
funded by the NIH. Our contribution is to take the set of
Nissl stained slices (50 μm thick, 250 μm apart) and to
create a smooth volume by calculating the optimal alignment.
We used open tools [2, 3] for processing, modernized the
code of the poSSum three-dimensional reconstruction toolbox
[4] and extended the deformable registration method thereof,
using the an MRI-based macaque atlas [5] as a reference
template. We will use the reconstructed volume to estimate
neuron densities across all cortical areas used in the
core-nets.org macaque connectivity database [6]. Besides
adding to the body of knowledge on the cytoarchitecture [7]
and geometry of the macaque cortex, this work will provide
tools to further analyze histological data and support
large-scale dynamical modeling studies.[1] NIH Blueprint NHP
