Description

This is the Morel Atlas of the Human Thalamus, transformed into the MNI152 neuroanatomical space. A statistical shape model based alignment, described in Jakab et al. (2012), was used to transform the atlas based on manually drawn thalamus outlines of the T1-weighted image template of the MNI152 space. The thalamic nomenclature is based on the work of Anne Morel (2007, CRC Press). 

The anatomical label map images are saved in .nii.gz (NIFTI) format in the same anatomical space as the T1 MNI152 template in both 1mm and 0.5mm resolutions.

Please cite the works listed in the README.txt file if you are using the atlas in your research.
