In order to perform a fMRI ROI analysis we need some prefrontal cortex region masks. Particularly, we are interested in the vmPFC, dmPFC, dLPFC and vlPFC. It seems that are a lot of different definitions for the same region. So, does anyone know how we can get it from the commonly used atlas (Harvard-Oxford or AAL), combining different labels? Or if anyone has already some of these masks, could it be possible to send to us?
Thanks very much in advance,
Fernanda
Hi Fernanda, it's true there are many different definitions of these regions.. we attempted to create seeds based on cytoarchitectonic borders / non-human primate distinctions, as detailed here: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010945215003822 if you like I can send you these ROI's used for this paper
Hi Laurel,
Thank you very much for your reply. I've just read your paper, and I am really interested in the ROI's you used.
I will send you a message, so we can see the best way to you send it to me.
update: see Glasser Nature paper- A multi-modal parcellation of human cerebral cortex, http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature18933.html
Hi, maybe you can also try our atlas, you can get it in the following link: http://atlas.brainnetome.org
Dear all,
Please give some advise. At the moment, I am struggling with my study to measure few regions of the brain of patients with schizphrenia i.e., hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and ventricle using Philips Achieva 1,5 T MRI machine.
We don’t have any expert in my hometown Medan Indonesia to determine those regions and I am thinking to use the Analyze software from Mayo Clinic. However, it seems that the software still needs a person to determine
However, it seems the softare still needs a person who can determine those regions I mentioned above whilst we don’t have the person. Are there any tools that can help me with my study to determine them? Thank you in advance
