A resulting map will be used to create an updated brain atlas that will complement and go beyond the first one developed by German anatomist Korbinian Brodmann 100 years ago. The new map — developed by Tianming Liu, Ph.D., professor of computer science at the UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, and students Dajiang Zhu and Kaiming Li — pinpointed 358 landmarks throughout the brain by using diffusion tensor imaging. The study results, recently published in Cerebral Cortex, were based on examining hundreds of participants, from which the dense individu- alized and common connectivity-based coritcal landmarks (DICCCOL) were established. The study was funded by a $1.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health over the course of five years.
