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. |
