Hi Shanny,

The best procedure is to use multiple atlases and then to check for the convergence of results. In this way you can detect if the effect you are interested in is always present, independently on the atlas used.

I personally suggest to use the atlases from Joliot et al., (2015) and Glasser et al., (2016), which are both accurate and reliable.

Best,

Simone
