Brodmann has pioneered structural brain mapping. He considered functional and
pathological criteria for defining cortical areas in addition to cytoarchitecture. Starting from …

Humans are set apart from other animals by many elements of advanced cognition and
behaviour, including language, judgement and reasoning. What is special about the human …

Understanding the amazingly complex human cerebral cortex requires a map (or
parcellation) of its major subdivisions, known as cortical areas. Making an accurate areal …

The human brain atlases that allow correlating brain anatomy with psychological and
cognitive functions are in transition from ex vivo histology-based printed atlases to digital …

The central processing pathways of the human olfactory system are not fully understood.
The olfactory bulb projects directly to a number of cortical brain structures, but the distinct …

The fusiform gyrus (FG) is commonly included in anatomical atlases and is considered a key
structure for functionally-specialized computations of high-level vision such as face …

Reference brains are indispensable tools in human brain mapping, enabling integration of
multimodal data into an anatomically realistic standard space. Available reference brains …

Reward-guided decision-making depends on a network of brain regions. Among these are
the orbitofrontal and the anterior cingulate cortex. However, it is difficult to ascertain if these …

The neural mechanisms mediating sensory-guided decision-making have received
considerable attention, but animals often pursue behaviors for which there is currently no …

One of the most specific but also challenging properties of the brain is its topographic
organization into distinct modules or cortical areas. In this paper, we first review the concept …
