Dear Sarah, To follow up on Edson's suggestion, I've always found the following to be extremely helpful: Devlin JT, Poldrack RA (2007) In praise of tedious anatomy. NeuroImage 37:1033-1041. Another very helpful paper regarding localization is: Brett M, Johnsrude IS, Owen AM (2002) The problem of functional localization in the human brain. Nat Rev Neurosci 3:243-249. As Edson says, it's not necessarily a quick process, but it's definitely a worthwhile investment. Good luck! :) Best regards, Jonathan On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 4:02 PM, edson amaro junior <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Dear Sarah, > > I believe you should take time and study anatomy - this may sound quite boring, but the results pay off > it is easy to get mistaken by automated tools (trust me, sophisticated software sometimes miss the point completely!) > and if you read the guidelines, most authors recomend a visual check before reporting your findings. You will never regret spending time to learn the names and relationships between brain structures - in fact this is how you get to know the structure you are studying :) > See you, > > edson > > On Apr21, 2011, at 4:28 PM, Goulas Alexandros (PSYCHOLOGY) wrote: > >> Dear Sarah, >> >> Apart from the AAL toolbox there is available at the SPM webpage an Anatomy toolbox that relates activations to cytoarchitecture based probabilistic maps that are available for several cortical regions. >> Assigning an activation site to a specific region is not trivial due to considerable interindividual variability of the exact size and borders of a region. >> >> Best, >> >> Alex >> >> ________________________________________ >> From: SPM (Statistical Parametric Mapping) [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sarah Waldron [[log in to unmask]] >> Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2011 8:49 PM >> To: [log in to unmask] >> Subject: [SPM] Brain regions >> >> Hi, >> I was wondering if there was a tool in SPM to help me get the physiological names of the brain regions I found activation?
