Nine subcortical/cerebellar atlases included in the subcortex_visualization Python package (and subcortexVisualizationR package in R). The atlases are depicted in two-dimensional vector graphic format.

The extended version of my thesis procrastination project/subcortex visualization package is out now in both Python and R, now that I’ve graduated 🤠 This figure shows the 9 atlases included (and counting)!

Anatomical White Matter Tracts Span the Cortical Hierarchy to Support Cognitive Diversity Long-range white matter (WM) tracts support cognition by enabling communication between distant cortical regions, which are organized along a hierarchy defined by the sensorimotor-to-association (S-A)...

Ever wondered how white matter tracts actually map onto the cortical hierarchy and cognition—beyond the usual “projection vs association” labels?
Our new preprint tackles exactly that! 🧠✨ doi.org/10.64898/202...

3️⃣ We showcase three walkthroughs of biologically-relevant questions that can be answered using netneurotools, related to structure-function coupling, multimodal connectivity, dynamics and gradients.

2️⃣ By design, netneurotools is trainee-centric and focuses on accessibility and usability. The functions are grouped into intuitive modules, covering the full lifecycle of a project.

Like "desire paths" in urban design — we only pave the routes people are already walking.
