Probabilistic cytoarchitectonic map of the subthalamic nucleus (STN, Nucleus subthalamicus, basal ganglia, diencephalon) (v5.0)

This dataset contains cytoarchitectonic probability maps of the subthalamic nucleus (STN, Nucleus subthalamicus, basal ganglia, diencephalon, from here on called STN) in the single subject template of the MNI (“Colin 27”) and the MNI ICBM 152 reference space, as part of the Julich-Brain atlas. The area was identified using cytoarchitectonic analysis on cell-body-stained histological sections in both hemispheres of 10 human postmortem brains obtained from the body donor program of the University of Düsseldorf. The maps show the probability of each voxel belonging to the STN in the reference spaces. Data is provided in the NifTi format. The Julich-Brain atlas relies on a modular, flexible and adaptive framework containing workflows to create probabilistic brain maps. Note that methodological improvements and integration of new brain structures may lead to small deviations in earlier released datasets.
