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)!

Imaging and recording technologies make it possible to map multiple biological features of the brain. How can these features be conceptually integrated into a coherent understanding of brain structure and function? ‡️

Normative blood perfusion map on lateral and medial views of the inflated and 2D flat cortical surfaces (fsLR). Borders and areal names of the multi-modal Glasser parcellation are overlaid on the flat surface. The figure highlights the non-uniform distribution of perfusion scores across the cortex, with areas that have sharp gradient compared to their underlying perfusion score levels (e.g., LIPv and MT/MST).
