In vivo mapping of the deep and superficial white matter connectivity in the chimpanzee brain.

ABSTRACT: Mapping the chimpanzee brain connectome and comparing it to that of humans is key to our understanding of similarities and differences in primate evolution that occurred after the split from their common ancestor around 6 million years ago. In contrast to studies on macaque species' brains, fewer studies have specifically addressed the structural connectivity of the chimpanzee brain and its comparison with the human brain. Most comparative studies in the literature focus on the anatomy of the cortex and deep nuclei to evaluate how their morphology and asymmetry differ from that of the human brain, and some studies have emerged concerning the study of brain connectivity among humans, monkeys, and apes. In this work, we established a new white matter atlas of the deep and superficial white m
