Jülich Brain Atlas becomes new Default-Atlas in AFNI

The Jülich Brain Atlas is now the new standard atlas in AFNI, a widely used open-source tool for analyzing and visualizing functional MRI data. The atlas is an important resource for the neuroimaging community and provides detailed parcellations of brain regions based on microstructure.

AFNI (Analysis of Functional NeuroImages) is a free, open-source software suite for processing, analyzing, and visualizing MRI brain data. It is primarily designed for structural (anatomical) MRI and functional MRI (fMRI), supporting a wide range of tasks from data visualization and overlaying activation maps on anatomical scans to preprocessing and statistical analysis of fMRI time series. AFNI also provides flexible tools for working with volumetric data and integrating brain atlases and templates, making it a widely used platform in the international neuroimaging community. The Julich Brain Atlas is centerpiece of the european digital research infrastructure EBRAINS.
