Statistics of brain and cerebral cortex are from Human Connectome Project (YA-HCP) (N=1092 subject and 2184 hemispheres), YerkesChimp29 (N=29 subjects, 58 hemispheres) (Donahue et al., 2018), initial NHP_NNP macaque data, Mac30BS (N=30 subjects, 60 hemispheres) and NHP_NNP marmoset data (N=50 subjects, 100 hemispheres).The brain size and cortical area were estimated by brainmask_fs.nii.gz and midthickness surface in native T1w space, both calculated by HCP and HCP-NHP pipelines.

Neuroimaging protocols are from the young-adult Human Connectome Project (YA-HCP) (Van Essen et al., 2012c), Yerkes for chimpanzee study (Donahue et al., 2018) and NHP Neuroimaging & Neuroanatomy Project (NHP_NNP) for macaque and marmosets (Autio et al., 2020b).
