Dear Darren,
Sure. For the amygdala, it's part of the usual n30r83 (30 brains, 83 regions) maximum probability map discussed recently; the protocols are in
Hammers, Allom et al. Hum Brain Mapping 2003 (which also contains the method for creating a maxprobmap (n20r49))
and in more detail plus a couple of histology slices in
Niemann K et al. Psychiatry Res Neuroimaging 2000.
For accuracy, see also
Heckemann RA et al. Neuroimage 2006.
For the basal ganglia, we have studied accumbens, pallidum and putamen in greater detail:
Ahsan RL et al Neuroimage 2007
- that paper also contains protocols which are well used. The probability maps from the paper are also available electronically in MNI space; the licence is virtually identical to the one for the n30r83 maxprobmap I sent around the list recently. I've taken the liberty of using some bandwidth to append the BG licence here; if you agree to the terms (essentially asking for no commercial use and to cite our work) just drop me an email and I'll send you the files.
If you are interested in ventral parts only, search PubMed for the work of the Columbia / M Laruelle group - they had protocols using artificial lines but achieving reproducible subdivisions (the grey scale doesn't help much in the area).
Hope this helps,
All the best,
Alexander
