The Desikan–Killiany atlas comprises 34 ROIs in each hemisphere. The mapping proposed by FreeSurfer (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/CorticalParcellation) was used as a reference. The only difference between our mapping and the reference resides in the mapping of the insula, which was not ascribed to any lobe in FreeSurfer. We assigned the insula to the parietal lobe.
