    Cross-species standardised cortico-subcortical tractography

    Stephania Assimopoulos, Shaun Warrington ... Stamatios N Sotiropoulos
    By providing new ways to map cortico-subcortical connectivity patterns, the proposed cross-species tractography approaches directly allow novel comparative studies between the human and macaque brain and enable subsequent explorations of brain-behaviour/disease symptom associations across individuals.
