[Abstract] Objective At present, the most important cross-species research method is to construct a homologous brain area control map based on the existing homologous sites. However, with the development of the individual, the cerebral cortex will expand irregularly, which affects the existing homologous sites on the individual. Based on this, a method of tracing white matter fiber bundles as a reference frame at the individual level was proposed to construct the connectivity fingerprints of human and macaque brain regions.Materials and Methods A total of 10 human subjects and 10 rhesus monkey subjects were selected from open brain imaging data set. White matter fiber tracts were extracted from preprocessed data at individual level, the connection strength between brain regions and white matter fiber tracts was calculated, and the connectivity finger pattern was constructed. The kronbach α coefficient was used to calculate the consistency between individuals within species. The cosine-similarity was used to analyze the connectivity patterns of homologous brain regions of two species, and the results were verified by permutation test.Results Within species, Broca's area (Broca44), Primary sensory area (S1), and Hippocampus (Hippoc)'s consistency coefficients were 0.636, 0.780, 0.977 in macaques, and in humans, the consistency coefficients were 0.781, 0.726, and 0.607. Among species, the cosine similarity calculation results of Broca44 area, S1 area, and Hippoc area were 0.979, 0.994, and 0.995.Conclusions Tracing white matter fiber tracts at the individual level and constructing connectivity fingerprints for cross-species research between humans and macaques is effective, and this result supports the construction of a cross-species comparison framework between humans and macaques.
