DTI-based atlas has been created for a canine model which could be used to investigate various white matter diseases. DTI tractography based structural connectivity between Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) and Posterior Cingulate Cortex (PCC) regions of the default mode network was computed in dogs and was compared with that in humans to investigate evolution of cognitive functions in humans and provide structural basis for the dissociation of anterior and posterior parts of Default Mode Network (DMN) found in a recently conducted resting state fMRI study.
