Dataset In-vivo probabilistic atlas of human thalamic nuclei based on diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging

This is the dataset related to the paper "In-vivo probabilistic atlas of human thalamic nuclei based on diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging" submitted to Scientific Data - Nature, by E. Najdenovska*, Y. Aléman-Gómez*, G. Battistella, M. Descoteaux, P. Hagmann, S. Jacquemont, P. Maeder, J.-P. Thiran, E. Fornari and M. Bach Cuadra (*Equally contributed authors).

We provide NifTI-1 files representing a digital atlas of seven thalamic subparts per hemisphere. More precisely, the files include the spatial probabilistic atlas maps for each thalamic subpart (Thalamus_Nuclei-HCP-4DSPAMs.nii.gz) and the maximum likelihood atlas (Thalamus_Nuclei-HCP-MaxProb.nii.gz) in MNI space. The region corresponding to each labeled thalamic part respectively is given in the look-up table Thalamic_Nuclei-ColorLUT.txt. Additionally, we provide as we the T1152 template in MNI space with and without skull. The NIFTI files can be visualised with the main available tools such as tkmedit, freeview or 3D-Slicer.
