Thanks for the response Bruce. It seems that the WFU pick atlas (http://fmri.wfubmc.edu/software/PickAtlas) has linked each talairach coordinate with a Brodmann area. Is it not possible (or accurate) to first convert the subject's RAS to talairach coordinates to link each coordinate to the associated Brodmann area, and then use mri_vol2surf and color-coat each vertex?

Best, Corey

Hi Corey,

sorry, there is no such thing, although wouldn't it be nice if there were :)

Hi Freesurfers,

I was wondering if you have come across a method to automatically parcellate the whole brain into Brodmann areas. I know the newest freesurfer version does this for several BAs but not all BAs have been incorporated. I was wondering if anyone knows of an existing Brodmann atlas (for example from Micron, AFNI, FSL, WFU_PickAtlas) that I can download and apply to my subjects' surfaces in freesurfer via mri_vol2surf? Thanks in advance.

Hi Corey, You may be interested in the recent thread on the SPM list discussing similar issues about why one shouldn't put too much stock in Brodman area labels unless they are derived from actual histology (e.g., the work of Julich/Amunts/Zilles et al).

Hi Corey

for much of the brain these are just guesses as we don't have human architectonic info. It's what we have now, but we don't even really know what the error bars are on a lot of the areas.

cheers Bruce
