Table 1. Definitions of brain regions.

Here, we provide the names, abbreviations, and anatomical features used to determine the brain regions collected for the MAPseq experiments.

Brain Region Abbreviation Approximate
Walker’s
Areas
A/P boundaries M/L boundaries
Amygdala n/a All nuclei across entire A/P extent
Entorhinal cortex ento From the anterior tip to a point adjacent to the mid-hippocampus. Midline to fundus of rhinal sulcus
Hippocampus HC Anterior tip to the middle of hippocampus
Medial orbitofrontal cortex mOFC 11m, 13a/b, 14 From emergence of medial orbital sulcus to its disappearance Between rostral sulcus and medial orbital sulcus
Lateral orbitofrontal cortex lOFC 11l, 12m/r, 13m/l From emergence of lateral orbital sulcus to its disappearance Between fundus of medial sulcus and fundus of lateral orbital sulcus
Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex vlPFC 45, 12o, 12l From emergence of lateral orbital sulcus to its disappearance Between lateral orbital sulcus and lateral convexity of ventral surface
Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex dACC 24 From emergence of cingulate sulcus until area 25 disappears from medial wall/emergence of septum. Dorsal and ventral banks of cingulate sulcus, and cortex immediately dorsal to corpus callosum
Subcallosal anterior cingulate cortex scACC 25 Medial surface, ventral to corpus callosum, medial/dorsal to medial orbital sulcus
Perigenual anterior cingulate cortex pgACC 32/24 Anterior to corpus callosum Cortex on medial surface of the frontal lobe between the rostral sulcus and the cingulate sulcus
Dorsal premotor cortex PMd 6 Posterior to emergence of dorsal arcuate sulcus to emergence of arcuate spur Dorsal convexity to arcuate spur
Caudate n/a
Putamen n/a
Nucleus Accumbens NAcc From presence of internal capsule to the full separation of caudate nucleus and putamen Ventromedial portion of striatum
Agranular Insula AI Orbital surface after disappearance of medial and lateral orbital sulci From medial corner of orbital surface to approximate location of fundus of lateral sulcus
Insula n/a Posterior to frontal/temporal junction to midpoint of hippocampus Most medial vertically-oriented cortex in depth of lateral fissure
Medial dorsal thalamus MD From the optic tract joining the cerebral white matter to the lateral habenula Dorsal and medial thalamic nuclei
