Brainstem Substructures Atlas

Description

Atlas of the four FreeSurfer brainstem substructures (midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata and superior cerebellar peduncle), as implemented in FreeSurfer's ⁠segment_subregions brainstem⁠ (Iglesias et al. 2015). Built from the cvs_avg35 template segmentation embedded in its full-brain aseg, so slice views show the brainstem inside cerebral cortex and white matter (rendered grey as anatomical context). Substructure colours come from FreeSurfer's official LUT.

Usage

brainstem()

Value

A ggseg.formats::ggseg_atlas object (subcortical).

Desikan-Killiany-Tourville Cortical Atlas

Description

Cortical parcellation with 32 regions per hemisphere based on the Desikan-Killiany-Tourville labeling protocol. Contains both 2D polygon geometry for ggseg::geom_brain() and 3D vertex indices for ggseg3d::ggseg3d().

Usage

dkt()

Value

A ggseg.formats::ggseg_atlas object (cortical).

Anterior/Posterior Hippocampus Atlas

Description

Atlas of the hippocampus split into an anterior (head) and a posterior (body and tail) part per hemisphere, after the common HCP-style long-axis subdivision. The boundary is the midpoint of each hippocampus's own anterior-posterior extent in the FreeSurfer aseg. Built from the fsaverage5 aseg, so slice views show the hippocampus inside cerebral cortex and white matter (rendered grey as anatomical context).

Usage

hcpa()

Value

A ggseg.formats::ggseg_atlas object (subcortical).

Hippocampal Subfields & Amygdala Nuclei Atlas

Description

FreeSurfer segmentation of the hippocampal subfields (Iglesias et al. 2015) and the nuclei of the amygdala (Saygin et al. 2017), as produced by ⁠segment_subregions hippo-amygdala⁠. Built from the cvs_avg35 template segmentation embedded in fsaverage5's full aseg, so slice views show the subregions inside cerebral cortex and white matter (rendered grey as anatomical context), surrounded by the neighbouring subcortical structures. Region colours come from FreeSurfer's official LUT.

Usage

hippoamyg()

Value

A ggseg.formats::ggseg_atlas object (subcortical).

Hypothalamic Subunits Atlas

Description

Atlas of the five FreeSurfer hypothalamic subunits per hemisphere (anterior-inferior, anterior-superior, posterior, tubular-inferior and tubular-superior), as implemented in FreeSurfer's mri_segment_hypothalamic_subunits (Billot et al. 2020). Built from the cvs_avg35 template segmentation embedded in its full-brain aseg, so slice views show the hypothalamus inside cerebral cortex and white matter (rendered grey as anatomical context). Subunit colours come from FreeSurfer's official LUT.

Usage

hypothalamus()

Value

A ggseg.formats::ggseg_atlas object (subcortical).

Thalamic Nuclei Atlas

Description

Probabilistic atlas of the 26 thalamic nuclei per hemisphere combining ex vivo MRI and histology, as implemented in FreeSurfer's segmentThalamicNuclei.sh (Iglesias et al. 2018). Built from the cvs_avg35 template segmentation embedded in its full-brain aseg, so slice views show the thalamus inside cerebral cortex and white matter (rendered grey as anatomical context). Nucleus colours come from FreeSurfer's official LUT — the published Iglesias palette.

Usage

thalamus()

Value

A ggseg.formats::ggseg_atlas object (subcortical).
