Title: Brainnetome Atlas: A New Brain Atlas based on Connectivity Profiles
Abstract:
Brain atlases are the fundamental tools for both basic and clinical neuroscience. However, the existing atlases lack finer-grained parcellation results and do not provide the functionally important connectivity information. Over the past thirty years, remarkable advances of multimodal neuroimaging techniques are rapidly advancing our understanding of the organization and function of the human brain. The introduction of the framework for identifying the brain subdivisions with in vivo connectivity architecture has opened the door to neuroanatomical studies at the macro-scale brain studies. In this lecture, we present a new brain atlas - the brainnetome atlas. It is constructed with brain connectivity profiles. The brainnetome atlas is in vivo, with finer–grained brain sub-regions, and with anatomical and functional connection profiles. We first give a brief introduction on the history of the brain atlas development. Then we present the basic ideas of the brainnetome atlas and the procedure to construct this atlas. After that, some parcellation results of representative brain areas will be presented. We also give a brief presentation on how to use the brainnetome atlas to address issues in neuroscience and clinical research. For example, how to determine the boundary of Wernicke’s area, what is the organization of Broca’ area across languages, what is mechanism of visuospatial attention lateralization, and what new findings can be made with the brainnetome atlas for basic and clinical neuroscience issues.
