On the Usage of Brain Atlases in Neuroimaging Research

Andreas Hess et al. Mol Imaging Biol. 2018 Oct.

Abstract

Brain atlases play a key role in modern neuroimaging analysis of brain structure and function. We review available atlas databases for humans and animals and illustrate common state-of-the-art workflows in neuroimaging research based on image registration. Advances in noninvasive imaging methods, 3D ex vivo microscopy, and image processing are summarized which will eventually close the current resolution gap between brain atlases based on conventional 2D histology and those based on 3D in vivo imaging.

Keywords: Brain atlas; Image registration; Neuroimaging; Vasculature.
