Reference delineations of Area ifs4 (IFS) in individual sections of the BigBrain

This dataset contains cytoarchitectonic maps of Area ifs4 (IFS) in the BigBrain. The mappings were created using cytoarchitectonic criteria applied on digitized histological sections of 1 µm resolution, cut in coronal plane. Areal borders have been detected by an oberserver-independent border definition (Schleicher 2000). Mappings are available on sections of the BigBrain and have been transformed to the 3D reconstructed BigBrain space using the transformations used in Amunts et al. 2013. From these delineations, a preliminary 3D map of Area ifs4 (IFS) has been created by simple interpolation of the coronal contours in the 3D anatomical space of the Big Brain. This map gives a first impression of the location of this area in the Big Brain, and can be viewed in the atlas viewer using the URL below.
