Resting state functional atlas and cerebral networks in mouse lemur primates at 11.7 Tesla

Measures of resting-state functional connectivity allow the description neuronal networks in humans and provide a window on brain function normal pathological conditions. Characterizing animals is complementary to studies understand how evolution has modelled network architecture. The mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) one smallest more phylogenetically distant primates as compared humans. organization its critical for scientists studying this primate well add link comparative animal studies. Here, we created first atlas describe time cerebral networks. They were classified two primary cortical (somato-motor visual), high-level (fronto-parietal fronto-temporal) limbic (sensory-limbic evaluative-limbic). Comparison human revealed similarities between dorsal attentional (DAN), executive control (ECN), default-mode (DMN). These however not homologous, possibly reflecting differential Finally, hubs evaluated. grouped along an antero-posterior axis lemurs while they split into parietal frontal clusters
