As part of our work in comparative anatomy, we collect diffusion MRI data from non-human primates. These data are obtained from animals that have died of causes unrelated to us and unrelated to our research. We obtain them from zoos and research institutes that in this way continue to contribute to our knowledge of these animals.

Obtaining these data is expensive, both in money and time. It requires combined expertise from veterinarians, physicists, statisticians, and neuroscientists. As such, obtaining these data is an endeavor that has taken many years to set up.

We have now started making these data available through the Digital Brain Zoo, part of the Wellcome Center for Integrative Neuroimaging's Digital Brain Bank. These data are available to research subject to a Material Transfer Agreement. Please contact us if you are interested.

The Digital Brain Bank is described by Tendler et al., 2022, eLife. The individual datasets are described in the following papers:
