MNI Macaque Atlas Downloads

Here you will find downloads of the MNI Macaque Atlas, the corresponding Paxinos atlas labels, and a sample Cynomolgus macaque - in MINC and JIV2 format. JIV2 is an interactive java-based viewer which depends on raw volumetric data, as well as headers and a configuration file (to tell JIV2 what to display and how to display it). The files are also available in Analyze and Nifti for use with SPM and FSL.

For more information on the atlas, see the Methods section of the MNI Macaque Atlas page.

To view the volumes online see the Viewing section of the MNI Macaque Atlas page.

To view the volumes offline using JIV2 simply download macaque_jiv.tgz, and run the included shell script. For more information, see the included README or the JIV2 documentation.
