ABSTRACT
The brain atlas is essential for exploring the anatomical structure and function of the brain. Non-human primates, such as cynomolgus macaque, have received increasing attention due to their genetic similarity to humans. However, current macaque brain atlases only offer coarse sections with intervals along the coronal direction, failing to meet the needs of single-cell resolution studies in functional and multi-omics research of the macaque brain. To address this issue, we utilized fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography to obtain sub-micron resolution cytoarchitectonic images of the macaque brain at the sagittal plane. Based on the obtained 8000 image sequences, a reference brain atlas comprising 45 sagittal sections was created, delineating 270 brain regions other than the cortex. Additionally, a website was established to share the reference atlas corresponding image data. This study is expected to provide an essential dataset and tool for scientists studying the macaque brain.
