Figure 3. Cytoarchitectonic probability maps of the cortex.

Figure 3

a | Probability maps of the primary visual cortex V1 in a sagittal section (left) and the rostral part (Brodmann's area 45 (BA45); right) of Broca's speech region in a coronal section. x and y refer to the spatial location of the sections in Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space54. The colour scale indicates the probabilities that the areas are present in a certain voxel of the reference space. b | Right lateral and occipital views of the maximum probability map in which each voxel of the three-dimensional space has been assigned to the cortical area with the highest probability. Cortical areas shown include areas 44 and 45 (Broca's region), primary motor (4) and premotor (6) areas, the somatosensory cortex (areas 3a, 3b, 1 and 2), inferior posterior parietal association areas (PFt, PFop, PF, PFm, PGa, PGp), parietal opercular areas (OP 1–4), mesial superior parietal area (7mes), auditory areas (TE 1–3) and visual areas (V1, V2 and V5/MT).
