This project addresses the need for a high quality
neonatal brain atlas attuned to accommodate tissue types
and morphological subtleties characteristic of this
developmental stage. T2 MRI scans of 3 healthy term-born
neonates were used. Cortical gray matter was segmented
using an in-house pipeline incorporating the unified
segmentation process implemented in SPM8. 33 cortical
areas per hemisphere were manually traced corresponding
to those in the Desikan-Killiany adult brain atlas. A
structural template was generated using symmetric
diffeomorphic transformation, and structure probability
maps were constructed. The atlas produced will be
incorporated into a freely accessible infant
segmentation and parcellation toolbox.
