The ATAG atlas is an atlas of the:
1) striatum (STR)
2) globus pallidus internal segment (GPi)
3) globus pallidus external segment (GPe)
4) red nucleus (RN)
5) substantia nigra (SN)
6) subthalamic nucleus (STh)————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The atlas contains probabilistic spatial information based on 30 young subjects. Both hemispheres are included separately and the atlas have the following versions:

Linear vs Nonlinear: The linear version is registered using only linear registration algorithms whereas the nonlinearly version was optimized using a nonlinear registration algorithm.

Normalized vs non-normalized: The normalized version has been scaled so that the probability of overlap ranges between 0.0 and 1.0.
The non-normalized version has a probability range between 0.0 and 30.0. Due to trilinear interpolation the values in the probabilistic
atlas are continues.

Finally a combined version of all the masks are provided which have been tresholded to include the overlapping voxels for at least 10 subjects.
