A Combined MRI and Histology Atlas of the Rhesus Monkey Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates

by Kadharbatcha S. Saleem, Nikos K. Logothetis

Overview

A Combined MRI and Histology Atlas of the Rhesus Monkey Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Second Edition maps the detailed architectonic subdivisions of the cortical and subcortical areas in the macaque monkey brain using high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) images and the corresponding histology sections in the same animal. This edition of the atlas is unlike anything else available as it includes the detailed cyto- and chemoarchitectonic delineations of the brain areas in all three planes of sections (horizontal, coronal, and sagittal) that are derived from the same animal. This is a significant progress because in functional imaging studies, such as fMRI, both the horizontal and sagittal planes of sections are often the preferred planes given that multiple functionally active regions can be visualized simultaneously in a single horizontal or sagittal section. This combined MRI and histology atlas is designed to provide an easy-to-use reference for anatomical and physiological studies in macaque monkeys, and in functional-imaging studies in human and non-human primates using fMRI and PET.

• The first rhesus monkey brain atlas with horizontal, coronal, and sagittal planes of sections, derived from the same animal
• Shows the first detailed delineations of the cortical and subcortical areas in horizontal, coronal, and sagittal plane of sections in the same animal using different staining methods
• Horizonal series illustrates the dorsoventral extent of the left hemisphere in 47 horizontal MRI and photomicrographic sections matched with 47 detailed diagrams (Chapter 3)
• Coronal series presents the full rostrocaudal extent of the right hemisphere in 76 coronal MRI and photomicrographic sections, with 76 corresponding drawings (Chapter 4)
• Sagittal series shows the complete mediolateral extent of the left hemisphere in 30 sagittal MRI sections, with 30 corresponding drawings (Chapter 5). The sagittal series also illustrates the location of different fiber tracts in the white matter
• Individual variability - provides selected cortical and subcortical areas in three-dimensional MRI (horizontal, coronal, and sagittal MRI planes). For comparison, it also provides similar areas in coronal MRI section in six other monkeys. (Chapter 6)
• Vasculature - indicates the corresponding location of all major blood vessels in horizontal, coronal, and sagittal series of sections
• Provides updated information on the cortical and subcortical areas, such as architectonic areas and nomenclature, with references, in chapter 2
• Provides the sterotaxic grid derived from the in-vivo MR image

From the Publisher

Unique atlas presenting magnetic resonance (MR) and histological images of the macaque monkey brain side-by-side

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Ramsis Farid Ghaly, MD, FACS (Ghaly Neurosurgical Associates)
Description: This is a second edition of a well-illustrated atlas of the Rhesus monkey brain that combines brain anatomy, histology, and MRI. It is a comprehensive resource of monkey brain maps using high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) images and the corresponding histology sections in all three stereotactic planes.
Purpose: This atlas is designed as a reference for anatomical and physiological studies in macaque monkeys, and in functional imaging studies in human and nonhuman primates using fMRI and PET. Many similarities do exist between humans and primates and the authors share the imaging and anatomical technology in humans and applied in primates.
Audience: The book is intended for neuroscientists, neuroantatomists, neuroradiologists, neurophysiologists, neuropathologists, and neuroresearchers.
Features: The six chapters contain an abundance of horizontal, coronal and sagittal series of anatomical, MRI, and histological slices. The first chapter introduces readers to the systematic look of the images, the abbreviations, presentations, and specimen preparations (histological and immunohistochemical). The second chapter goes over the cortical and subcortical anatomy of the rhesus monkey brain. Detailed diagrams and drawings matched with cadaveric specimens of the monkey brain are used to explain the cytoarchitectonic and chemoarchitectonic organization of each region. A horizontal series of MRI images and photomicrographs matched with drawings are illustrated in chapter 3 while the coronal and sagittal series are displayed in chapters 4 and 5 respectively. Stereotaxic guides are supplied for each illustration. The final chapter selects cortical (19) and subcortical (8) areas in three different MRI planes and in different cases. The book contains more than 800 images with detailed labels and abbreviations and names.
Assessment: This second edition adds more detailed sections and planes and provides maps of the brain's major blood vasculatures derived from in-vivo MR images. The illustrations create a three-dimensional view to help orient the reader.

Doody's Review Service

"To discover the secrets of perception, memory, action, and consciousness, we must be able to navigate the secret passageways of the nervous system. In a lovingly illustrated work, Saleem and Logothetis provide high-resolution charts at an unprecedented level of detail that may well rival the effect of Brodmann's maps of the primate brain." —Dr. Christof Koch, California Institute of Technology (Caltech)

"This is an extraordinarily detailed and comprehensive atlas of the macaque monkey brain. The figures are beautiful and very clear; the inclusion of sections stained with three staining methods, and their correlation with high-resolution MRI scans gives the atlas depth and validity. It should be widely used, and is likely to become a standard." —Dr. Joseph L. Price, Washington University in St. Louis

"Simply excellent! This much needed atlas is meticulous and clear, and a brilliant exposition of the basic anatomical relationships of the macaque brain. It will be a treasured reference and guide for both experts and beginners over a wide range of research areas." —Dr. Kathleen S. Rockland, Riken Brain Science Institute, Japan

"Here I have found a unique combination of histology sections and high-resolution MRI in the same macaque brain. The images are excellent. This book will be useful for researchers using macaque monkeys as well as those referring to the monkey brain from comparative view point." —Dr. Keiji Tanaka, Riken Brain Science Institute, Japan

"...a comprehensive atlas rich in structural, histological, and functional detail. An absolute must for all neuroscientists navigating the rhesus monkey brain." —Dr. Leslie G. Ungerleider, NIMH-NIH

"Our ability to decipher the intricate circuitry and function of the primate brain depends upon accurately localizing experimental data to particular spatial coordinates and to particular architectonic subdivisions revealed by postmortem histochemistry. This atlas of the macaque brain will serve as a valuable resource to the neuroscience community because it combines detailed architectonic maps with high-resolution structural MRI that preserves information about spatial coordinates." —Dr. David C. VanEssen, Washington University in St. Louis

"A magnificent contribution to neuroscience from Saleem and Logothetis - an up-to-date, comprehensive, and wonderfully detailed view of the primate brain that no functional neuroanatomist can afford to be without." —Dr. Mortimer Mishkin, NIMH, NIH

“The strengths of the atlas are the use of three planes of view, and the comparison of different histological preparations with fMRI images.” —Dr. Jon Kaas, Vanderbilt University, Nashville TN

"Any language, in order to be alive, must be used competently and comfortably by an engaged community. The Saleem and Logothetis atlas, which itself has resulted from an active interdisciplinary dialogue, is an excellent example of what can be done across levels and should become a standard classic." —Kathleen Rockland, RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Japan in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 22 May 2008, http://frontiersin.org/neuroanatomy/bookreviews/1
