Brain atlases are crucial for analyzing complex human brain data. New reference systems are needed to map brain structure and function across diverse populations and conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • The human brain's complexity necessitates standardized reference systems for data analysis.
  • Existing brain maps face challenges in representing population variability and diverse conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the concept and importance of brain maps for health and disease research.
  • To survey various types of brain maps applicable to neurological and mental disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Review and synthesis of existing literature on brain mapping techniques.
  • Discussion of challenges in creating comprehensive human brain atlases.

Main Results:

  • Brain maps are essential tools for manipulating, analyzing, and interpreting neuroimaging data.
