Contrasts and correlations were displayed within MRICro, using the MNI single-subject t1 structural MRI brain template (the "Colin" brain template, closest to the average of the MNI 152 template; "Colin's" brain was scanned multiple times by MNI to result in a crisp visual display.
These data provide a template of the brain transcriptome for the monarch butterfly.
We constructed new shape-average templates for the brain and VNC using nc82 confocal stacks, including an average male and an average female template brain.
The problem is that because there is no single reading brain template, the present reading brain never needs to develop.
The data were normalized to the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) template brain image using a 12-parameter affine transformation.
For each participant, we first realigned all functional images, then we co-registered (rigid body transformation) the subject's anatomical scan to the mean functional image, and then co-registered the participant's data to the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) template brain.
Finally, individual lesion maps were binarized and registered to the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) template brain (voxel size 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 mm).
Particular care was taken to ensure that frontal regions, which suffer from the effects of magnetic susceptibility induced signal distortion [9] when imaged with echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequences, were accurately registered to the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) template brain.
This supports the template idea, the researchers said, in that the more notes that match the template, the better the brain can name that tune.
The anatomy of the template brain is meaningful, because each location in the template brain is the mean location of the cortical loci in individual brains that were warped to that location.
