This paper introduces a method to map cortical-layer specific area boundaries in primates using myelin MRI, revealing a 182 area/subarea partition in macaques with high homology to human myelin maps.

This paper outlines a multi-site MRI study aiming to establish harmonized imaging biomarkers for brain disorders across the lifespan using standardized protocols and data from healthy and patient subjects.

The paper develops a 24-channel MRI coil and adapts HCP protocols for macaques, enabling high-quality in vivo imaging and preprocessing comparable to human studies.

The paper shows that high b-value diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics are strongly associated with NODDI metrics in cortical gray matter, but low b-value DTI does not accurately reflect microstructure.
