The Marmoset Brain Connectivity Project is a collaborative effort aimed at creating an integrated resource containing knowledge about nervous system architecture. The project was originally initiated by Dr. Hideyuki Okano and Dr. Partha Mitra on ‘Brain-Mapping Projects Using the Common Marmoset.‘ The data were generated as part of the Japanese Brain/MINDS initiative, which has focused on the common marmoset (Callithrix Jacchus) as a model organism, and was generated using ‘A high-throughput neurohistological pipeline’ to map mesoscale connectivity in the marmoset brain.
革新的技術による脳機能ネットワークの全容解明プロジェクト
The project is supported by the Brain Mapping for integrated Neurotechnologies for Disease Studies (Brain/MINDs), Japan’s Brain Mapping Project. The core institute for the project is located at RIKEN and was sponsored by MEXT from 2014.
About the Project
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.
