<p><strong>In cortex,</strong> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area" target="_blank"><strong>Brodmann areas</strong></a> <strong>are often used in conjunction with anatomical lables to help specify an area.</strong></p>
<p>Brodmann areas: some common associated functions.<br />
1, 2, 3 = primary sensory cortex<br />
4 = motor cortex<br />
5, 7 = secondary sensory cortex<br />
6 = supplementary motor area (medial) and premotor cortex (lateral)<br />
8 = frontal eye fields<br />
9/46 = dorsolateral prefrontal cortex<br />
10 = frontopolar cortex<br />
11, 12 = orbitofrontal areas<br />
17 = primary visual cortex<br />
18, 19, 20, 21, 37 = secondary visual cortex<br />
24, 32 = anterior cingulate cortex<br />
41 = primary auditory cortex<br />
22, 42 = secondary auditory cortex<br />
39 = angular gyrus, part of Wernicke's area<br />
40 = supramarginal gyrus, part of Wernicke's area<br />
44/45 = Broca's Area<br />
47 Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex<br />
(13, 14, 15, 16, 27, 49, 50, 51 - monkey only)<br class="c18" />
Brodmann area 48 was described by Brodmann, but does not appear in his maps.<br />

<strong>Software</strong><br />
I use <a href="www.mricro.com" target="_blank">MRIcro</a>, <a href="http://www.sph.sc.edu/comd/rorden/mribeta.zip" target="_blank">MRIcrobeta</a>, and <a href="http://www.sph.sc.edu/comd/rorden/mricron/" target="_blank">MRIcron</a> on Windows, and the <a href="http://www.fz-juelich.de/inb/inb-3/spm_anatomy_toolbox" target="_blank">Anatomy</a> toolbox in SPM (installed locally).</p>
<hr />
MRIcro beta version, a selection of the handy features (from Chris Rorden):<br />
<div class="c59"></div>
<div class="c59"><small class="c60">1.</small> <small class="c60">BatchConvertROIsToAnalyze: Convert numerous ROIs to Analyze format.</small><small class="c60"><br />
2. Convert NIfTI hdr/img to nii: combines the information of a hdr and img file into a single nii file.<br />
3. ResliceImage: convert anisotropic image to isotropic (e.g. 1x1x2mm -&gt; 1x1x1mm). (SPM's spline based reslicing is better, though)<br />
4. unNIfTI header: Turn a NIfTI hdr/img pair into a Analyze hdr/img pair that you can read with SPM2. It eliminates the NIfTI affine transformation matrix, so backup headers if you still hope to use SPM5<br />
5. Interpolate ROI slices - allows a user to only draw an ROI on a few slices and then interpolate missing slices.<br />
6. RescaleImageBy0.001: Useful for FSL's FUGUE tool when phase-unwrapping Philips images.<br />
7. IntensityNormalization: A simple global scaling function.<br />
8. ZeroImage: allows you to remove edges of image to aid brainextraction.</small> <small class="c60">(more sophisticated version is in MRIcron: Crop Edges)</small><small class="c60"><br />
9. Derivative: Takes a 4D image and makes a new 4D image where each volume shows the difference in signal relative to the previous volume.<br />
10.</small> <small>peristimulus plot: ability to create phase-locked fMRI timecourses (also available in MRIcron).</small></div>
