Atlasing of the basal ganglia
This atlas takes advantage of ultra-high resolution 7T MRI to provide unprecedented levels of detail on structures of the basal ganglia in-vivo. The atlas includes probability maps of the Subthalamic Nucleus (STh) using T2*-imaging. For now it has been created on 13 young healthy participants with a mean age of 24.38 (range: 22-28, SD: 2.36). We recently also created atlas STh probability maps from 8 middle-aged participants with a mean age of 50.67 (range: 40-59, SD: 6.63), and 9 elderly participants with a mean age of 72.33 (range: 67-77, SD: 2.87).
