Abstract
Neuroscience Defining brain regions and demarking their spatial extent are important goals in neuroscience. A modern map of the brain's cellular structure, a cytoarchitectonic atlas, should provide maps of areas in three dimensions, integrate recent knowledge about brain parcellation, consider variations between individual brains, rely on reproducible workflows, and provide web-based links to other resources and databases. Amunts et al. created such an atlas based on serial histological sections of brain. They developed a computational framework and refined the current boundaries of the human brain based on cytoarchitectural patterns. This technique can easily be transferred to build brain atlases for other species or a spatial framework for other organs, other modalities, or multimodal maps for regions of interest at higher spatial scales. This research makes similar future attempts simultaneously reproducible and flexible. Science , this issue p. [988][1] [1]: /lookup/doi/10.1126/science.abb4588
