Global scientific community plots future of primate neuroimaging to accelerate medical breakthroughs for humans
Summary
A global community of over 150 scientists studying the primate brain has released a blueprint for developing more complete “wiring diagrams” of how the brain works that may ultimately improve understanding of many brain disorders. In a new paper published in the journal Neuron, “Accelerating the Evolution of Nonhuman Primate Neuroimaging,” participants in a Global Collaboration Workshop (the PRIMatE Data Exchange: PRIME-DE) reveal a vision for how nonhuman brain imaging can most effectively be accelerated by encouraging global collaboration that may result in landmark discoveries in neuroscience. PRIME-DE is an open science program of the International Neuroimaging Datasharing Initiative of the Child Mind Institute. The authors write that the community can dramatically accelerate the pace of progress if these commitments are made: Increasing the Quality of Brain Imaging. International Regulations and Public Engagement, Harnessing the Latest Technology. “Primate neuroimaging has remained largely piecemeal and single-lab driven, causing most scientists to struggle to amass datasets consisting of even 10 to 20 subjects, whereas the human-imaging community now aim for thousands,” write authors Michael Milham, MD, PhD, vice president of research at the Child Mind Institute and director of the Center for Biomedical Imaging and Neuromodulation at the Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research; and Christopher I. Petkov, PhD, professor of comparative neuropsychology at Newcastle University Medical School. “If this global collaboration blueprint serves as a litmus test of what the future will bring, exciting advances and discoveries not possible to achieve in a single laboratory or country will soon become evident by global collaboration and support.”
