Since the publication of the primate brain volumetric dataset of Stephan and colleagues in the early 1980s, no major new comparative datasets covering multiple brain regions and a large number of primate species have become available. However, technological and other advances in the last two decades, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the creation of institutions devoted to the collection and preservation of rare brain specimens, provide opportunities to rectify this situation. Here, we present a new dataset including brain region volumetric measurements of 39 species, including 20 species not previously available in the literature, with measurements of 16 brain areas. These volumes were extracted from MRI of 46 brains of 38 species from the Netherlands Institute of Neuroscience Primate Brain Bank, scanned at high resolution with a 9.4-T scanner, plus a further 7 donated MRI of 4 primate species. Partial measurements were made on an additional 8 brains of 5 species. We make the dataset and MRI scans available online in the hope that they will be of value to researchers conducting comparative studies of primate evolution.

灵长类动物大脑解剖：用于神经解剖学研究的新体积MRI测量。

自从1980年代初Stephan及其同事的灵长类动物大脑体积数据集发布以来，没有覆盖多个大脑区域和大量灵长类动物物种的主要新比较数据集。然而，近二十年来的技术和其他进步，特别是磁共振成像（MRI）以及致力于收集和保存稀有脑标本的机构的建立，为纠正这种情况提供了机会。在这里，我们提出了一个新的数据集，包括39种物种的大脑区域体积测量，其中包括文献中以前没有的20种物种，以及16种大脑区域的测量。这些体积是从荷兰神经科学研究所灵长类动物大脑研究所的38种物种的46个大脑的MRI中提取的，使用9.4-T扫描仪进行高分辨率扫描，再进行7种MRI捐赠的4种灵长类动物。对另外5个物种的8个大脑进行了部分测量。我们在线提供数据集和MRI扫描，以期对进行灵长类动物进化比较研究的研究人员有价值。
