The history of CoCoMac
نویسنده
چکیده
CoCoMac, the "Collation of Connectivity Data for the Macaque" is a relational database system which presently constitutes the largest electronic repository of published neuroanatomical connectivity data. Developed since 1996, CoCoMac comprises approximately 40,000 experimental findings on anatomical connections in the macaque brain, as derived from neuroanatomical tract tracing studies. In this historical review, I describe the origin and the history of CoCoMac from a personal perspective, illustrate the principles of its structure and outline the impact it has had on systems neuroscience, in particular as a prelude to the "Human Connectome" research programme.

Uniresolution representations of white-matter data from CoCoMac
Tracing data as collated by CoCoMac, a seminal neuroinformatics database, is at multiple resolutions – white matter tracts were studied for areas and their subdivisions by different reports. Network theoretic analysis of this multi-resolution data often assumes that the data at various resolutions is equivalent, which may not be correct. In this paper we propose three methods to resolve the mul...
متن کاملCoCoMac 2.0 and the future of tract-tracing databases
The CoCoMac database contains the results of several hundred published axonal tract-tracing studies in the macaque monkey brain. The combined results are used for constructing the macaque macro-connectome. Here we discuss the redevelopment of CoCoMac and compare it to six connectome-related projects: two online resources that provide full access to raw tracing data in rodents, a connectome view...
متن کاملCoCoTools: Open-source Software for Building Connectomes Using the CoCoMac Anatomical Database
Neuroanatomical tracer studies in the nonhuman primate macaque monkey are a valuable resource for cognitive neuroscience research. These data ground theories of cognitive function in anatomy, and with the emergence of graph theoretical analyses in neuroscience, there is high demand for these data to be consolidated into large-scale connection matrices ("macroconnectomes"). Because manual review...
متن کاملAdvanced database methodology for the Collation of Connectivity data on the Macaque brain (CoCoMac).
The need to integrate massively increasing amounts of data on the mammalian brain has driven several ambitious neuroscientific database projects that were started during the last decade. Databasing the brain's anatomical connectivity as delivered by tracing studies is of particular importance as these data characterize fundamental structural constraints of the complex and poorly understood func...
متن کاملHundreds of brain maps in one atlas: Registering coordinate-independent primate neuro-anatomical data to a standard brain
Non-invasive measuring methods such as EEG/MEG, fMRI and DTI are increasingly utilised to extract quantitative information on functional and anatomical connectivity in the human brain. These methods typically register their data in Euclidean space, so that one can refer to a particular activity pattern by specifying its spatial coordinates. Since each of these methods has limited resolution in ...
