Mapping brain function is challenging due to cortical convolutions. This study introduces two novel spherical mapping methods for standardized visualization and accurate comparison across multiple subjects, enabling automatic sulcal region labeling.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Medical Visualization

Background:

  • Visualizing and mapping brain function on the convoluted cortical surface presents significant challenges.
  • Existing methods for unfolding and flattening the cortex aid visualization but lack standardization for cross-subject comparisons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present two standardized methods for mapping each cortical hemisphere onto a spherical surface.
  • To enable accurate geometric feature mapping and facilitate cross-subject comparisons of brain function.

Main Methods:

  • Developed two novel techniques to map the cortex onto a spherical representation.
  • Analyzed sulcal alignment across multiple brains to assess mapping accuracy.
  • Generated probabilistic maps for automated labeling of segmented sulcal regions.

Main Results:

  • The proposed methods provide a standardized approach to cortical mapping.
  • Quantified the accuracy of mapping geometric features like sulci and gyri.
  • Enabled the creation of probabilistic maps for automatic sulcal region identification.

Conclusions:

  • The introduced spherical mapping techniques offer a standardized solution for cortical surface analysis.
  • These methods improve the comparability of functional data across subjects.
  • Probabilistic maps facilitate automated labeling, advancing neuroimaging analysis.
