IMAGING ANALYSES OF EARLY POSTNATAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE BABOON BRAIN

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 该项目资助了一项使用磁共振成像(MRI)技术对狒狒大脑的正常生长和发育进行的调查。这项研究的总体目标是确定MRI用于研究狒狒大脑发育的可行性。这项研究的具体目标包括收集发育中动物的图像的纵向数据库，建立发育中动物的数字模板图像，估计绝对和相对生长参数，以及对MRI和身体标本进行详细比较。2007年，总共从3只动物身上获得了9次扫描。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This project funds an investigation of normative growth and development of the baboon brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies. The overall objective of the study is to determine the feasibility of MRI for investigating baboon brain growth. Specific aims of the study include collecting a longitudinal data base of images from developing animals, establishing digital template images from developing animals, estimating absolute and relative growth parameters, and undertaking detailed comparisons between MRI and cadaver specimens. In 2007, a total of 9 scans were obtained from 3 animals.
