Abstract
This file contains the volumes of 2 regions of the prefrontal cortex, the Frontal Pole (FP) and the Dorso-Lateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC), for the 30 individuals of 16 species used in our study. We added the measures for an alternative (less conservative) FP volume, which includes a dorsal region that is also associated with the DLPFC. We also included measures for the whole brain (WB). The data are organized in a simple table, where each subject is a line and each column corresponds to a measure (volumes, averages, etc).
The data are organized in a table where each column is a region of interest and each line is a primate species.
The regions of interest are:
- WB: whole brain
- FP: frontal pole
- FP_2: frontal pole, alternative landmarks. We explored an alternative (less conservative) definition of the borders of the frontal pole for monkeys (there was no ambiguity for apes), by measuring the volume of the FP including a dorsal area.
- DLPFC: dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
Note: Empty cells in the table correspond to missing data points, either because we could not get the measure or because the measurement could not be made (e.g. FP_2 was only possible for monkeys, but not for humans and great apes).
Volumes were obtained by manual segmentation of brain images (MRI data) using the Aviso Software.
