Fig. 1.

(a) 3D, (b) coronal, (c) sagittal, and (d) axial views of the G85 template and tissue segmentation. The T₂-weighted template has a stratified pattern (c-d), cortical plate (CP) is the cell-dense outermost layer with the lowest T₂-weighted intensity (green) and the subplate (SP) is the intermediate layer with relatively high T₂-weighted intensity (blue). The germinal and fibrous layers (GFL), the hypointense layer (cyan) lining the ventricles, contains extends into ganglionic eminence rostrally (white arrow heads), and includes the ventricular zone, inner subventricular zone, inner fiber layer, outer subventricular zone and outer fiber layer (b-d). Adequate contrast also exists among deep gray nuclei, allowing us to further differentiate striatum (cream) from thalamus (magenta) (b and d). The brainstem (orange), which has slightly lower T₂-weighted intensity than the adjacent thalamus, can also be delineated (b).
