Electronic Brain Atlases: Features and Applications

This chapter addresses the construction, features, applications, and potential of electronic brain atlases for neuroradiology and neuroeducation. An electronic brain atlas database with complementary atlases containing gross anatomy, subcortical structures, brain connections, and sulcal patterns was constructed. This database contains two-dimensional and three-dimensional, mutually coregistered atlases with about 1000 structures and 400 sulcal patterns.
