Description
The field of human brain mapping is exhibiting an increased focus on the study of neural functional architecture at the system level and on individual neurological characteristics. rather than pm population-based averages. This new direction has resulted in a need for a new brain atlas that incorporates correlated radiologic and histological images representing the whole brain. Initiatives such as the Human Connectome Project are based on non-invasive techniques that afford images of the brain only at the macroscopic level, creating a growing need for an atlas that provides histological images of entire (coronal) sections that can then be easily compared to corresponding MRI and DTI images, making the correlation across modalities direct and intuitive. Neuroimaging Atlas of the Human Brain: MRI, DTI, and Histology is just such an atlas, representing the first market offering of histologic, radiologic, and labeled anatomical images of the same, entire human brain.
Key features
Key features
- Stained histological slices through entire brain, in coronal, horizontal, and sagittal planes, with three different illustrating anatomy at the cellular level
- Corresponding labeled anatomical (blockface) image for each slice
- Corresponding radiologic MRI/DTI images (in vivo and ex vivo)
- Map of major pathways in the deep white matter, based on DTI imaging
- Multi-level classification of cortical and subcortical structures
- Micro-photographs of crucial regions to illustrate neuroanatomical phenomena
- Companion website hosting additional histological slices; methodological and patient information; video and multimedia components; data viewer enabling 2-D navigation of MRI, DTI and blockface volumes; graphical user interface to deliver 3-D correlated data from MRI and virtual slice files
