Sheep (Ovis aries) training protocol for voluntary awake and unrestrained structural brain MRI acquisitions

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive technique that requires the participant to be completely motionless. To date, MRI in awake and unrestrained animals has only been achieved with humans and dogs. For other species, alternative …

A novel male Japanese quail structural connectivity atlas using ultra-high field diffusion MRI at 11.7 T

The structural connectivity of animal brains can be revealed using post-mortem diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Despite the existence of several structural atlases of avian brains, few of them address the bird’s structural …

Maternal deprivation and milk replacement affect the integrity of gray and white matter in the developing lamb brain

The psychoendocrine evaluation of lamb development has demonstrated that maternal deprivation and milk replacement alters health, behavior, and endocrine profiles. While lambs are able to discriminate familiar and non-familiar conspecifics (mother or …

Left Brain Asymmetry of the Planum Temporale in a Nonhominid Primate: Redefining the Origin of Brain Specialization for Language

The planum temporale (PT) is a critical region of the language functional network in the human brain showing a striking size asymmetry toward the left hemisphere. Historically considered as a structural landmark of the left-brain specialization for …

See this poster on Figshare for some more details.

A practical guide for the identification of major sulcogyral structures of the human cortex

The precise sulcogyral localization of cortical lesions is mandatory to improve communication between practitioners and to predict and prevent post-operative deficits. This process, which assumes a good knowledge of the cortex anatomy and a …
