In this study, we evaluated the characteristics of the brain in a genetically modified marmoset model of Parkinson’s disease. Various contrast mechanism images were acquired using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the whole brain underwent explorative investigation with each contrast. This study was evaluated for Parkinson’s disease marmoset by anatomical MRI, neural fiber tractography and awakening state functional MRI. Malti-contrast MRI showed diseases characteristics in the thalamus, the nigral striatum, motor circuit and anymore. The findings suggest that the marmoset is useful as a model animal to study human diseases.
