Brain Atlases
To address these difficulties, brain atlases3, 15, 16, 17 provide a structural framework in which individual brain maps can be integrated. Most brain atlases are based on a detailed representation of a single subject's anatomy in a standardized 3-D coordinate system, or stereotaxic space. The chosen dataset acts as a template on which other brain maps (such as functional images) can be overlaid. The anatomic data provide the additional detail necessary to accurately localize activation sites,
