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. fMRI has been used to detect functionally connected networks in the resting human brain. Because these networks are present both at rest and also in the lightly anesthetized state, it is possible to identify them in lightly anesthetized chimpanzees and compare them with those found in humans to inform our knowledge of the extent to which human and chimpanzee brains are similarly organized. This research helps us to identify specializations of human brain connectivity that support human cognitive and behavioral specializations and will also shed light on human brain evolution. During the reporting period, we scanned our first chimpanzee with fMRI under light protocol anesthetic and verified that we can in fact detect functionally connected networks in chimpanzees that are homologous to those found in humans.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 功能磁共振成像已被用于检测休息中的人脑中功能连接的网络。由于这些网络在休息时和轻度麻醉状态下都存在，因此有可能在轻度麻醉的黑猩猩中识别出它们，并将它们与人类中发现的网络进行比较，以告知我们人类和黑猩猩大脑组织相似程度的知识。 这项研究有助于我们识别支持人类认知和行为专业化的人类大脑连接的专业化，也将揭示人类大脑的进化。在本报告所述期间，我们在轻度协议麻醉下用fMRI扫描了我们的第一只黑猩猩，并验证了我们实际上可以检测到黑猩猩中与人类同源的功能连接网络。
