Glasser52: A parcellation for MEG-Analysis

Summary

A parcellation with 52 parcels that can be linked to anatomical labels of the HCP-MMP atlas and is suitable for analyses of MEG recordings.

The parcellation was created based on the Human Connectome Project Multimodal Parcellation (HCP-MMP) atlas (Glasser et al., 2016) following the procedure suggested by Tait et al. (2021).

The underlying idea of this procedure is to 1) calculate the influence of each of the 22 regions of the HCP-MMP atlas on MEG recordings obtained from healthy controls and PD volunteers and 2) to merge and divide regions so that 52 parcels with similar influence on the MEG sensor signal are obtained. This approach allows to start from the anatomical HCP-MMP atlas and adapts it according to functional signals obatined from MEG recordings. Thus, it enables for a good compromise between solely anatomical or solely functional derived parcellations. (For more information see the Additional Information.docx).Contents:
