We present an ovine, unbiased, population-averaged standard magnetic resonance imaging template brain volume that offers a common stereotaxic reference frame to localize anatomical and functional information in an organized and reliable way for comparison across individual sheep and studies. We have used t1w MRI volumes from a group of 14 normal adult sheep to create the template and a priori probability of cerebral gray (GM) and white (WM) matter as well as cerebrospinalfluid (CSF). Thus, the atlas does not rely on the anatomy of a single subject, but instead depends on nonlinear normalization of numerous sheep brains mapped to an average template image that is faithful to the location of anatomical structures.

Lesion and tissue probability maps for segmentation of the intracerebral hemorrhage in sheep model
We present a set of probabilistic maps for tissue and lesion segmentation of intracerebral hemorrhagic lesioned sheep brain. Lesion tissue probability maps (LTPM) were tested in SPM8/12 using 'New segmentation' routine.
The set include:
- modified gray, white matter tissue class (considering lesion localisation)
- lateral ventricles
- subdural cerebrospinal fluid
- lesion
- outer brain tissue
