Brain Structure and Function - Call for Papers - Update in Brain Parcellations and their Relationship to Function

New Content ItemOver the past century and a half, human brain mapping consisted in pinning small functionally responsive areas within the brain. However, the real extent of these areas and their eventual overlap remains unknown. The challenge now facing neuroscience is to define boundaries for functionally responsive areas at the group and the individual level. Many approaches to parcellating the brain in areas with different features became available recently including post-mortem and in vivo architectonics, tractography-based connectivity, functional coactivation, and resting-state functional connectivity. What these methods really measure, however, and what conclusions can be drawn, are not yet fully clear to the scientific community. What precisely is being measured with these new tools for brain parcellation? What are the strengths and limitations of each method? What new findings have been revealed by the latest brain parcellation? A special issue on this subject matter will provide an excellent venue to introduce these topics. We’re looking forward to your original articles, updates, reviews or methodological articles to be submitted before January 30th 2023.

Open for submission: 16 May 2022
