A combined MRI and Histology: Atlas of the Rhesus monkey brain in stereotaxic coordinates is designed to provide an easy to use resource/reference for anatomical, physiological, and functional imaging (fMRI, PET and MEG) studies in primates. We hope that this book will serve as a valuable guide for the neuroscientists.
Key Features
- The first combined MRI and Histology Atlas of cortical and subcortical areas of a non-human primate species.
- The first detailed delineations of the cortical and subcortical areas in both horizontal and coronal planes in the same animal using five different staining methods.
- Illustrates the entire dorsoventral extent of the left hemisphere in 47 horizontal MRI and photomicrographs matched with 47 detailed diagrams.
- Presents the full rostrocaudal extent of the right hemisphere in 76 coronal MRI and photomicrographs, and 76 corresponding drawings.
- Illustrates the selected cortical and subcortical areas in horizontal, coronal and sagittal MRI planes.
- Provides the stereotaxic grid derived from the in-vivo MR image.
- The new standard reference for anatomical, physiological, and functional imaging studies in primates.

About the Authors
- Dr. Kadharbatcha S. Saleem, Ph.D. received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D in Life Sciences (Zoology / Neuroanatomy) from the University of Madras, India. Subsequently he conducted research on the anatomical organization and connections of visual cortical areas, and the medial temporal lobe memory regions in primates at RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan. He also conducted research on the neuronal circuitry in the basal ganglia and cortex using MRI-visible contrast agent. Since 2001, he has been at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis. Dr. Saleem’s main interest is the study of functionally less explored regions in the brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex and the temporal cortex.
- Dr. Nikos K. Logothetis, Ph.D. is director of the department of Physiology of Cognitive Processes at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, in Tuebingen, Germany. He received a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Athens, a B.S. in Biology from the University of Thessaloniki, and his Ph.D. in Human neurobiology from the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich. After research at Massachussetts Institute of Technology he joined the faculty of the Division of Neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Since 1997 he has been at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics. He works on the physiological mechanisms underlying visual perception and object recognition. His recent work includes the application of functional imaging techniques to monkeys and measurement of how the functional magnetic resonance imaging signal relates to neural activity. Dr. Logothetis is a recipient of the DeBakey Award for Excellence in Science, the Golden Brain Award of the Minerva Foundation, the 2003 Louis-Jeantet Prize of Medicine, and the Zülch-Price for Neuroscience.
