Abstract
The
human brain atlases that allow correlating brain anatomy with
psychological and cognitive functions are in transition from ex vivo
histology-based printed atlases to digital brain maps providing
multimodal in vivo information. Many current human brain atlases cover
only specific structures, lack fine-grained parcellations, and fail to
provide functionally important connectivity information. Using
noninvasive multimodal neuroimaging techniques, we designed a
connectivity-based parcellation framework that identifies the
subdivisions of the entire human brain, revealing the in vivo
connectivity architecture. The resulting human Brainnetome Atlas, with
210 cortical and 36 subcortical subregions, provides a fine-grained,
cross-validated atlas and contains information on both anatomical and
functional connections. Additionally, we further mapped the delineated
structures to mental processes by reference to the BrainMap database. It
thus provides an objective and stable starting point from which to
explore the complex relationships between structure, connectivity, and
function, and eventually improves understanding of how the human brain
works. The human Brainnetome Atlas will be made freely available for
download at http://atlas.brainnetome.org, so that whole brain
parcellations, connections, and functional data will be readily
available for researchers to use in their investigations into healthy
and pathological states.
