Hi,
I just want to point out something you probably know already - BA11
does not equal orbitofrontal gyrus. The Brodmann maps were described
in the early 20th century on one brain only and designate
cytoarchitectonically distinct areas on the cortical surface (not the
sulci!) of this single brain. They do not necessarily correlate with
gyral anatomy and certainly are subject to a significant
inter-individual variability. If you are interested in
cytoarchitectonic-functional correlations, use the Juelich histo-maps
built into FSL instead (see the relevant literature (Zilles, Amunts,
Eickhoff etc.) for the reasons why). If you are primarily interested
increating anatomical ROIs (which in itself might or might not be a
good idea), why not use the built-in anatomical atlases?
Best regards,
Cornelius
