Webinar Overview
Hao Huang begins his talk with an overview of the dimensions of mouse, macaque, and human brains and a demonstration of how high magnetic fields make similar resolutions possible at all animal models. He then discusses his macaque brain atlas with can be found at www.brainmrimap.org, before detailing FA, white and gray matter maps, and mean kurtosis of developing brains of multiple species from mouse to man.
