Our first work on mesocale connectome mapping of primate brains was published on Nature Methods, forcusing on white matter fiber pathways again. （Click to access online PDF version of the paper）

Extending our previous work on mapping the white matter (version-2；Liu et at, Nature Neuroscience, 2020), we introduces CABLE, a novel 3-D mesoscale imaging method that uses cytoarchitectonic organization to reconstruct whole-brain fiber tracts at cellular resolution, enabling the disentanglement of complex intersecting fibers and validated against brain-wide viral axon tracing in primates.

Congratulations to the hard works of our students, Yue Zhang (SIAT) and Tao Song (ION), and the great teamwork with the lab of Dr. Fang Xu (SIAT)！

Congratulations to the great teamwork of two institutes (Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese academy of Science and BGI-Research). Our spatial transcriptome atlas of the cerebellar cortex was published on Science, as the Part-2 of the Version 5.

The story about the cerebellum is to be continued.

Congratulations to Yao Fei and Qihang Wu for our first work about single-neuron mesoscale connectome, published on Nature Communcations. This study combined single-neuron projectome, computational modeling and wide-field calcium imaging of mice to reveal the anatomical and functional principle of interhemispheric connectivity. All data are public available (see paper for detail).

Mesoscale connectome mapping of marmoset brains is also on the way.

The 5th version of Marmoset Brain Mapping is focusing on the cerebellum. The first part of the 5th version (An anatomical and connectivity atlas of the marmoset cerebellum) is now released and published on Cell Reports as the Cover Paper. Congratulations to Xiaojia Zhu！

The 4th version of Marmoset Brain Mapping ("An integrated resource for functional and structural connectivity of the marmoset brain") is officially released and published on Nature Communications. The MBMv4 provided a large awake resting-state fMRI data, intergrated neuronal tracing data, functional brain networks, and connectivity-based cortical parcellations. Thanks to the great international collaboration and congratulations to Dr. Xiaoguang Tian！

About the Project

Marmoset Brain Mapping Project

Since 2016



The Marmoset Brain Mapping Project was launched in Nov. 2016, aiming at building comprehensive brain atlases and tools to facilitate marmoset brain research.

With supports and helps from multiple labs and teams，we are making significant progress during these years, not only in developing atlases for mapping the marmoset brain, but also valuable data that can be of interests to researchers who are in the marmoset research field.

Via this website, we would like to share all of our fruits, including raw data, to the research community. Our "effort-tree" is still growing, and we hope the current and future fruits will promote open-science and contribute to neuroscience research of marmosets.
