To view a label, open an inflated surface ({{{tksurfer fsaverage lh inflated}}}) and then select {{{File->Label->Load Label}}} and select a label (lh.BA1.label, for example). Then select {{{Tools->Labels->Copy Label Statistics to Overlay}}}. Then select {{{View->Configure->Overlay}}} and set Min threshold to 0 and Max threshold to 0.5, and also select Linear threshold, and then press Apply and Close. The label should appear on the surface (you will probably need to press the Redraw button). Only one label at a time can be displayed. The labels show the frequency estimates of the probability that each (displayed) point was part of that BA.

Brodmann Area Maps (BA Maps)

The Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and the Institute of Neurosciences and Biophysics (INB) have created an atlas of a subset of the Brodmann Areas, for usage in Freesurfer. The subject set consists of 10 neurologicially normal subjects.

BA Labels

The following labels are available for download (and already included in Freesurfer v4.0.3 and later) for display on the 'fsaverage' surface distributed with Freesurfer:

  • BA 1 - somatosensory area

  • BA 2 - somatosensory area

  • BA 3a - somatosensory area

  • BA 3b - somatosensory area

  • BA 4a - primary motor area (anterior)

  • BA 4p - primary motor area (posterier)

  • BA 6 - pre-motor area

  • BA 44 - Broca's area (pars opercularis)

  • BA 45 - Broca's area (pars triangularis)

  • V1 (BA 17) - primary visual area

  • V2 (BA 18) - secondary visual area

  • V5/MT - visual area, middle temporal

Copy the file ba_labels_fsaverage.tar.gz to your $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage/labels directory, then type tar zxvf ba_labels_fsaverage.tar.gz to extract. To view a label, open an inflated surface (tksurfer fsaverage lh inflated) and then select File->Label->Load Label and select a label (lh.BA1.label, for example). Then select Tools->Labels->Copy Label Statistics to Overlay. Then select View->Configure->Overlay and set Min threshold to 0 and Max threshold to 0.5, and also select Linear threshold, and then press Apply and Close. The label should appear on the surface (you will probably need to press the Redraw button). Only one label at a time can be displayed. The labels show the frequency estimates of the probability that each (displayed) point was part of that BA.

BA Atlas

A probabilistic atlas for use in automatic cortical parcellation of these areas will be available at a future date.

V1 Atlas

Data and scripts are available here to allow prediction of location V1 on a Freesurfer subject based on a probabilistic atlas. See the README file for instructions. See the O. Hinds paper 'Accurate prediction of V1 location from cortical folds in a surface coordinate system', in References below, for details.
