a BigBrain 3D histological reconstruction15,53 and six-layer estimates42. Source: https://bigbrainproject.org/maps-and-models.html. b Intracortical staining intensity profiles. Red and blue lines indicate the left and right hemispheres, respectively. c Mean intensity maps across 6 layers. d Mean asymmetry across layers. Red and blue indicate asymmetry index (AI) left > right and right > left. e Layer-wise AI for Bigbrain: six-layer parcel-wise AI brain maps and network-wise heatmap. f Skewness map across asymmetry along 60 points of intracortical depth. Atlas-defined networks include primary visual (Vis1), secondary visual (Vis2), somatomotor (SMN), cingulo-opercular (CON), dorsal attention (DAN), language (LAN), frontoparietal (FPN), auditory network (AUD), default mode (DMN), posterior multimodal (PMN), ventral multimodal (VMN), orbito-affective (OAN).
