Ginkgo Chauvel's deep white matter atlas of the human brain

Deep Chauvel's human white matter atlas.

The deep white matter atlas of the human brain was built upon a cohort of 39 in vivo human magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans shared by the Human Connectome Project (HCP), registered on a template space (the MNI ICBM152 2009c non-linear asymmetric template). The construction of this atlas is based on the analysis of the anatomical and diffusion MRI dataset using the  tractography and fiber clustering tools available from the Ginkgo toolbox (CEA, NeuroSpin, BAOBAB, GAIA, Ginkgo Team, https://framagit.org/cpoupon/gkg). The atlas can be visualized using the BrainVISA/Anatomist viewer available at https://brainvisa.info/web/download.html.

This atlas is composed of 39 white matter bundles including :
-  symmetrically on both hemispheres, the anterior, superior and posterior thalamic radiations (optic radiations), the arcuate, dorsal and ventral cingulum, the cortico-spinal tract, the fornix, the frontal aslants, the inferior fronto-occipital fascicle, the inferior longitudinal fasciculus, the middle longitudinal fascicle, the optic radiations, the uncinate fascicle and the visual occipito-temporal fibers (also called ventral visual stream),
-  interhemispheric bundles such as the anterior commissure and the Witelson's subdivisions of the corpus callosum (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII),
-  cerebellar bundles, such as the hypothamic-subthalamic fibers and the cortico-ponto-cerebellar fibers,
The atlas is provided using the Anatomist *.bundles/*.bundlesdata format for which meta-information can be found in the *.bundles file among which:
- the labels of the different white matter bundles ('labels' entry),
- the number of streamlines populating each white matter bundle ('curve3d_counts' entry), in the same order as the 'labels' key,
- the total number of white matter bundles ('item_count' entry),
- the total number of streamlines ('curves_count' entry)
