Abstract: Highlights•We proposed nBEST, a deep-learning toolbox for processing MR images of non-human primate brains.•nBEST leverages lifelong learning and 3D U-NeXt models, performing brain extraction, non-cerebrum removal, and tissue segmentation.•Validated with 1,400+ scans from 11 species, nBEST shows extensive applicabilit.•nBEST is available online with a user manual.
