On the Usage of Brain Atlases in Neuroimaging Research
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
