Comparisons between the Chinese and the ICBM brain templates

Measurement Chinese brain atlas (Chinese_56) ICBM152 Atlas
AC-PC(mm) 26.25 28.00
Length (mm) 168.77 177.00
Width (mm) 144.39 136.00

Height/Length 0.66 0.70
Height/Width 0.77 0.91

The observed differences between the global Chinese_56 and ICBM152 atlases may be explained by dissimilarities of genetics and environmental exposures. The Chinese_56 atlas is relatively shorter but wider than the ICBM brain template, the width/length ratio of the Chinese brain template is closer to 1 than that of the ICBM152, the Chinese brain template is closer to a cubic square.
