![]() ![]() ![]() Cytoarchitectonic studies reviewed in this paper show large interindividual differences in 3-D location of primary sensory cortical areas (visual cortex) as well as heteromodal associational areas (prefrontal cortical areas), even after correction for H. In this review we argue that such a specification of Brodmann area(s) via the Talairach atlas is not appropriate. This specification is based upon macroscopic extrapolation from Brodmann’s projection maps into the Talairach atlas rather than upon a real microscopic cytoarchitectonic study. In nearly all neuroimaging reports, the studied cortical areas are specified further with a Brodmann Area (BA) number. Published online: 23 September 2005 ! Springer-Verlag 2005Ībstract In human brain imaging studies, it is common practice to use the Talairach stereotaxic reference system for signifying the convergence of brain function and structure.
