Understanding the amazingly complex human cerebral cortex requires a map (or
parcellation) of its major subdivisions, known as cortical areas. Making an accurate areal�…

The human brain is subdivided into distinct anatomical structures, including the neocortex,
which in turn encompasses dozens of distinct specialized cortical areas. Early�…

Abstract Comparison of mammalian brain parts has often focused on differences in absolute
size,,, revealing only a general tendency for all parts to grow together. Attempts to find size�…

The cerebral cortex in mammals contains a mosaic of cortical areas that differ in function,
architecture, connectivity, and/or topographic organization. A combination of local�…

A defining aspect of brain organization is its spatial heterogeneity, which gives rise to
multiple topographies at different scales. Brain parcellation—defining distinct partitions in�…

A central goal in systems neuroscience is the parcellation of the cerebral cortex into discrete
neurobiological “atoms”. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI)�…

Surface area of the cerebral cortex is a highly heritable trait, yet little is known about genetic
influences on regional cortical differentiation in humans. Using a data-driven, fuzzy�…

The macro-connectome elucidates the pathways through which brain regions are
structurally connected or functionally coupled to perform a specific cognitive task. It�…

Elucidating the cellular architecture of the human cerebral cortex is central to understanding
our cognitive abilities and susceptibility to disease. Here we used single-nucleus RNA�…

Brain atlases are fundamental to understanding the topographic organization of the human
brain, yet many contemporary human atlases cover only the cerebral cortex, leaving the�…
