What is where and why it is important
Source: NeuroImage 2007 Oct;37(4):1045-1049.
Author: Toga AW, Thompson PM
PubMed ID: 17720552
Abstract:
The paper by Devlin and Poldrack entitled ‘In Praise of Tedious Anatomy’ deals with an increasingly important topic. Namely, how do we effectively communicate, with appropriate accuracy and precision, the ‘where’ of our measurements? They make cogent arguments for the use of anatomical maps to reference the location of functionally active regions of brain as measured with fMRI. We agree with this premise and would like to amplify further (with some additional suggestions) the rationale for equating functional measures with observations about structure. But before we do that, it might be useful to first generalize this issue, as one that pertains to 1) comparing data collected across multiple subjects, modalities, experiments and laboratories and 2) integrating this data as a comprehensive whole.
