Existing human brain templates presented in chronological order. The first Talairach atlas was reported in 1957. In 1988, it was constructed from the postmortem brain of a 60 year old French woman. The MNI-305 brain template was constructed in 1995 from the average of 305 three dimensional MRI brain images (mean age = 23.4 ± 4.1 years). The MNI-152 brain template was constructed in 2001 using brain MRI images from 152 normal subjects. The ICBM-452 brain template was created in 2003. The Korean brain template was created in 2005 from 78 healthy (normal) Korean subjects (mean age 44.6 ± 19.4 years). The French brain template (constructed from a 45 year old Frenchman) was reported in 2009, and the Chinese brain template was created in 2010 using 56 young Chinese subjects (mean age 24.49 ± 1.76 years). New brain templates refer to template from Indian subcontinent and African continent etc.
