Unravelling the intrinsic functional boundaries of the macaque monkey cortex

Vancouver Convention Centre 

A growing body of literature has demonstrated the ability to delineate cortical areas in the human brain based upon the detection of spatial transitions in intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) profiles (Cohen et al., 2008; Wig et al., 2014). In particular, gradient-based parcellation approaches have gained popularity due to their ability to recapitulate previously established cytoarchitectonic brain areas. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of extending the application of parcellation approaches to non-human primates (NHP), demonstrating the reliability of these parcellations and comparing the cortical areas revealed to those obtained in humans.
