Deep brain stimulation (DBS) provides symptomatic relief
from a number of otherwise refractory neurologic
conditions through stimulation of small structures in
the brainstem and diencephalon. As researchers and
clinicians continue to investigate new DBS targets,
there is a need for accurate 3D maps of brainstem
anatomy and structural connectivity. Diffusion MRI can
provide important insight, but clinical studies lack the
spatial and/or angular (diffusion) resolution needed for
detailed mapping. We present a high spatial- and high
angular-resolution diffusion MRI atlas of the postmortem
human brainstem and thalamus with an emphasis on
structural mapping of DBS targets.
