About this atlas

The regional map (RM) is a brain parcellation made with the purpose of having adequate granularity for mapping between individual brains and between humans and non-human primates. The parcellation was drawn on the cortical surfaces of both macaque and human brains by Rolf Kötter, and published as Figure 3 in (Kötter and Wanke 2005).

The sketch was transferred to the F99 cortical surface (David C. Van Essen, 2002) by Gleb Bezgin (Bezgin et al., 2008). Since the Scalable Brain Atlas needs volumetric parcellations as input, the surface parcellation was converted to a volume by assuming a constant cortical thickness of 1 mm.

F99 space is introduced in: David C. Van Essen (2002) "Windows on the brain. The emerging role of atlases and databases in neuroscience." Curr. Op. Neurobiol. 12: 574-579. doi: 10.1016/S0959-4388(02)00361-6. It is defined by a 0.5 mm MRI scan of an approx. 5 year old male macaque monkey case F99UA1, provided by Nikos K. Logothetis.
