Abstract:
Mapping brain connectivity in primates remains a major challenge because microscopic white-matter architecture is difficult to resolve while maintaining whole-brain coverage. Increasing imaging spatial resolution is key to disambiguating fibre configurations within smaller anatomical volumes. This work presents developments that enable high-resolution diffusion MRI of the macaque brain, both in vivo and ex vivo, using a whole-body human MRI scanner operating at 10.5 Tesla.
