The National Chimpanzee Brain Resource (NCBR) facilitates research advancement by collecting, curating, and distributing chimpanzee neuroimaging data and postmortem brain tissue. These resources support studies of brain organization, evolution, development, aging, and neuropathology, as well as comparative investigations relevant to human brain health and disease.
In addition to imaging and tissue resources, the NCBR provides access to chimpanzee brain atlas tools, a searchable data repository, a comprehensive bibliography of publications, educational materials, and links to related chimpanzee brain datasets and online resources. By centralizing these materials, the NCBR promotes rigorous, collaborative, and ethically responsible research.
The NCBR is operated in partnership by The George Washington University and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and is supported by the National Institutes of Health.
