Digital human brain atlases consisting of MRI-based templates and semantic labels delineating different brain regions serve a critical role in neuroimaging, mainly facilitating spatial normalization and automated segmentation, for the purposes of voxel-wise, region-of-interest, and network analyses. As part of the IIT Human Brain Atlas project (www.nitrc.org/projects/iit2), we have recently developed, anatomical as well as state-of-the-art diffusion tensor and high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) templates, as well as probabilistic gray matter (GM) labels in ICBM-152 space. The purpose of this project was to construct the first probabilistic connectivity-based atlas of human brain white matter (WM) in ICBM-152 space.
