High-resolution cortical parcellation based on conserved brain landmarks for localization of multimodal data to the nearest centimeter

Abstract Precise cortical brain localization presents an important challenge in the literature. Brain atlases provide data-guided parcellation based on functional and structural brain metrics, and each atlas has its own unique benefits for localization. We offer a parcellation guided by intracranial...

description Abstract Precise cortical brain localization presents an important challenge in the literature. Brain atlases provide data-guided parcellation based on functional and structural brain metrics, and each atlas has its own unique benefits for localization. We offer a parcellation guided by intracranial electroencephalography, a technique which has historically provided pioneering advances in our understanding of brain structure–function relationships. We used a consensus boundary mapping approach combining anatomical designations in Duvernoy’s Atlas of the Human Brain, a widely recognized textbook of human brain anatomy, with the anatomy of the MNI152 template and the magnetic resonance imaging scans of an epilepsy surgery cohort. The Yale Brain Atlas consists of 690 one-square centimeter parcels based around conserved anatomical features and each with a unique identifier to communicate anatomically unambiguous localization. We report on the methodology we used to create the Atlas along with the findings of a neuroimaging study assessing the accuracy and clinical usefulness of cortical localization using the Atlas. We also share our vision for the Atlas as a tool in the clinical and research neurosciences, where it may facilitate precise localization of data on the cortex, accurate description of anatomical locations, and modern data science approaches using standardized brain regions.
