COMPUTERIZED BRAIN ATLAS FOR MACACA FASCICULARIS

我们已经完成了基于x射线和磁共振成像（MRI）标记的长尾猕猴大脑的计算机编制的立体定位图谱。这是第一个包括整个大脑的猴子大脑图谱，第一个标记了所有结构（总共约350个）的图谱，也是第一个非人类灵长类动物大脑的立体定位图谱，其中的坐标系统基于内部地标，就像用于神经外科应用的人类大脑图谱一样。用户通过NeuroNames在图谱中定位结构，neuroonames是我们实验室开发的脑结构词汇表，并被纳入国家医学图书馆的统一医学语言系统。1997年，我们发表了一份关于灵长类动物（包括人类）和大鼠（神经科学研究中最常研究的物种）相似大脑结构的相应术语清单。我们的灵长类大脑立体定位模板图谱以缩略形式于1996年发表在《神经图像》杂志上，并于1997年以完整的书籍形式发表。它由大约60个冠状面组成，每隔1毫米穿过大脑。每个部分都被分割成组成结构，这样大脑中的每个点都被分配到一个特定的结构。模板地图集于1997年在万维网上推出。整个“神经名称”术语表将于1998年初被添加到该网站上，该术语表根据标准的主要大脑结构定义了7000多个经典的神经解剖学名称。由于人类和非人类灵长类动物神经解剖学的命名法实际上是相同的，因此扩展后的NeuroNames有望在各种索引和教学应用中发挥作用，并为神经科学研究带来新的标准化水平。

We have completed a computer-compiled stereotaxic atlas of the longtailed macaque brain based on x-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) landmarks. It is the first monkey brain atlas that includes the entire brain, the first in which all structures, some 350 in all, are labeled, and the first stereotaxic atlas of a nonhuman primate brain in which the coordinate system is based on internal landmarks as in human brain atlases for neurosurgical applications. The user locates structures in the atlas through NeuroNames, a glossary of brain structures developed in our laboratory and incorporated into the Unified Medical Language System of the National Library of Medicine. In 1997 we published a listing of corresponding terms for similar brain structures in the primate, including humans, and in the rat, the species most commonly studied in neuroscientific research. Our stereotaxic Template Atlas of the Primate Brain was published in abbreviated form in the journal NeuroImage in 1996 and in complete book form in 1997. It consists of about 60 coronal sections taken at 1-mm intervals through the brain. Each section is segmented into component structures such that every point in the brain is assigned to a specific structure. The Template Atlas was introduced on the World Wide Web in 1997. The entire NeuroNames glossary, which defines more than 7,000 classical neuroanatomical names in terms of the standard set of primary brain structures, will be added to the website early in 1998. Since the nomenclatures for human and nonhuman primate neuroanatomy are virtually identical, the expanded NeuroNames is expected to be useful in a variety of indexing and teaching applications as well as bringing a new level of standardization to neuroanatomical definitions for neuroscientific research.
