The Marmoset Brain Connectivity Project is a collaborative effort aimed at creating an integrated resource containing knowledge about nervous system architecture in multiple species including the marmoset and human. The project was originally initiated by Dr. Hideyuki Okano and Dr. Partha Mitra on ‘Brain-Mapping Projects Using the Common Marmoset.‘

Currently, we only have a partial knowledge about brain connectivity and nervous system architecture. Even with extensive studies on the rodent species, our knowledge is still incomplete and the information that is present in literature is spread widely across multiple research resources. The goal of the Brain Architecture Project is to collate information from these resources and to generate primary data sets that enable information integration.
