| Important notice Rolf Kötter, the founding father of CoCoMac, sadly passed away on June 9, 2010. Following this tragic event, this site is kept alive in a functional, but frozen state. Meanwhile, development of a fully open access CoCoMac 2nd edition is in full swing, visit the new website cocomac.g-node.org. | |||||
Untangling the Brain |
Current database version |
||||
|
CoCoMac (Collations of Connectivity data on the Macaque brain)
is our approach to produce a systematic record of the
known wiring of the primate brain. The main database contains
details of hundreds of tracing studies in their original
descriptions. Further data are continuously added. |
|
||||
|
To overcome the problem of divergent brain maps we developed
ORT (Objective Relational Transformation),
an algorithmic method to convert data in a coordinate- independent
way based on logical relations between areas in different
brain maps. |
We use CoCoMac data to analyse the organisation of the cerebral cortex, and to establish its structure- function relationships. This includes multi-variate statistics and computer simulation of models that take into account the real anatomy of the primate cerebral cortex. | ||||

New features CoCoMac-Paxinos-3D viewer, a java-based 3D atlas viewer with integrated CoCoMac connectivity. Scalable Brain Atlas, a web-based atlas viewer with integrated CoCoMac access. |
