The provided cortical parcellation includes 234 priors from frontal, sensorimotor, parietal, temporal, occipital, cingular and subcortical regions. This atlas includes a population template generated from 30 neurologically and clinically normal non-brachycephalic dogs, tissue segmentation maps and a cortical atlas generated from Jerzy Kreiner’s myeloarchitectonic-based histology atlas. In this manuscript we create and make available a detailed MRI-based cortical atlas for the canine brain. The increasing use of dogs for non-invasive neuroscience studies has generating a need for a standard canine cortical atlas that provides common spatial referencing and cortical segmentation for advanced neuroimaging data processing and analysis. In addition, the gyrencephalic structure of the canine brain is more similar to that of human than rodent models. Unlike rodents and primates, they demonstrate unique convergent sociocognitive skills with humans, are highly trainable and able to undergo non-invasive experimental procedures without restraint, including fMRI. The domestic canine ( canis familiaris) is a growing novel model for human neuroscientific research.
