Users can apply the recommended thresholds to the track density images of the corresponding major white matter bundles (provided in IIT_bundles.zip) and convert the thresholded track density images to masks of zeroes and ones.</description> <dc:subject>IIT Human Brain Atlas (v.5.0)</dc:subject> <dc:creator>Konstantinos Arfanakis</dc:creator> <dc:date>Wed, 29 Dec 2021 2:29:32 GMT</dc:date> </item> <item rdf:about="http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9495"> <title>New, more user-friendly look-up tables for the WM labels </title> <link>http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9495</link> <description>We have updated the look-up tables for the labels of the WM atlas (LUT_WM_0to1.txt and LUT_WM_0to255.txt).<br /> When using the old look-up tables in visualization software such as FSL and ITK-SNAP, only the numerical label ID was displayed e.g. label2776. With the new look-up tables the user can now see not only the numerical label ID, but also the names of the connected regions e.g. ctx-lh-superiorfrontal AND ctx-rh-superiorfrontal.<br /> We have also updated the manual to reflect these changes.</description> <dc:subject>IIT Human Brain Atlas (v.5.0)</dc:subject> <dc:creator>Konstantinos Arfanakis</dc:creator> <dc:date>Wed, 16 Sep 2020 1:41:10 GMT</dc:date> </item> <item rdf:about="http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9479"> <title>New files provide the length of fiber connections</title> <link>http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9479</link> <description>New files providing the length of fiber connections of the IIT Human Brain Atlas have been added (IIT_WM_atlas_length.nii.gz and IIT_WM_atlas_length_256.nii.gz). These files demonstrate that the top layers of the multi-layer connectivity-based white matter labels DO NOT correspond to longer connections compared to lower layers (over-representation of long tracts is a known tractography concern). The top layers of the IIT Human Brain Atlas do not over-represent longer connections. The new files serve as a sort of quality check of the connectivity information the atlas is based on. A detailed description of the contents of the new files is provided in the updated manual.</description> <dc:subject>IIT Human Brain Atlas (v.5.0)</dc:subject> <dc:creator>Konstantinos Arfanakis</dc:creator> <dc:date>Wed, 29 Jul 2020 12:52:35 GMT</dc:date> </item> <item rdf:about="http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9417"> <title>New regionconnect is now available</title> <link>http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9417</link> <description>A new version of the regionconnect script is now available. The manual of the IIT Human Brain Atlas has also been updated to reflect the changes in regionconnect. All other files of version 5 of the atlas have remained the same.<br /> <br /> What changed?<br /> 1) The new regionconnect is in python (the old version was in matlab). <br /> 2) The new version of regionconnect is faster than the old version. <br /> <br /> What is regionconnect?<br /> Regionconnect allows rapid extraction of standardized brain connectivity information for white matter regions with significant findings in voxel-wise neuroimaging studies. Regionconnect addresses a long-standing lack of specificity in terms of brain connectivity when reporting statistically significant findings in white matter. Regionconnect is based on the connectome of the IIT Human Brain Atlas v.5.0. Regionconnect does not require high angular resolution diffusion MRI or any MRI data, and can be used even in populations with certain brain lesions. </description> <dc:subject>IIT Human Brain Atlas (v.5.0)</dc:subject> <dc:creator>Konstantinos Arfanakis</dc:creator> <dc:date>Fri, 17 Apr 2020 1:40:39 GMT</dc:date> </item> <item rdf:about="http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9228"> <title>New manual (July 20th 2019)`</title> <link>http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9228</link> <description>The manual has been updated to include the names of the white matter bundles provided with the atlas.</description> <dc:subject>IIT Human Brain Atlas (v.5.0)</dc:subject> <dc:creator>Konstantinos Arfanakis</dc:creator> <dc:date>Sat, 20 Jul 2019 7:18:44 GMT</dc:date> </item> <item rdf:about="http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9213"> <title>Updates to version 5 of the IIT atlas are now available</title> <link>http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9213</link> <description>Few updates to version 5 of the IIT atlas are now available.
