FSLcomes bundled with a collection of NIFTI templates and atlases. A variety of probabilisticand discrete atlases are included, comprising cortical, sub-cortical, andregional parcellations. It is also possible to add your own atlases toFSL.

All of the atlases included with FSL 6.0.4 have beenaligned to the MNI152 standard template. This means that anyimages which you wish to query using these atlases must be alsoregistered to MNI152 space.


The list on the left allows you to select the atlases that you wish to query -click the check boxes to the left of an atlas to toggle information on and offfor that atlas. The Harvard-Oxford cortical and sub-cortical structuralatlases are both selected by default.


The panel on the right displays information about the current display locationfrom each selected atlas. For probabilistic atlases, the region(s)corresponding to the display location are listed, along with theirprobabilities. For discrete atlases, the region at the current location islisted.


Some of the atlases included in FSL (e.g. the Talairach) containa large number of regions. Generating and displaying the regionlist can therefore take some time, so please be patient the firsttime that you select an atlas!


When you select an atlas in this list, all of the regions in that atlas arelisted in the area to the right. Again, the checkbox to the left of eachregion name toggles an overlay for that region on and off (either avolume or mask overlay,depending on whether the atlas is probabilstic or discrete). The + button nextto each region moves the display location to the (approximate) centre of thatregion.


When you type some characters into the search field, the region list will befiltered, so that only those regions with a name that contains the charactersyou entered are displayed. The atlas list on the left will also be updated sothat any atlases which contain regions matching the search term arehighlighted in bold.


The atlas management tab displays a list of all loaded atlases, and allows youto add and remove atlases from FSLeyes. The name of each atlas is shown in thelist, but you can click and hold on an atlas to display the path to the atlasspecification file.


You can load a new atlas into FSLeyes by clicking the + button, and selectingthe FSL atlas specification file which describes the atlas - see the page oncustomising FSLeyes for details. You can remove an atlasfrom FSLeyes by selecting it in the list and clicking the - button [*].


The atlas was produced using over 2,500 3-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) brain scans that were acquired serially during pregnancy from 2,194 fetuses in the INTERGROWTH-21st Project, which is a large population-based study of healthy pregnant women living in eight diverse geographical regions of the world (including five in the Global South), whose children had satisfactory growth and neurodevelopment at 2 years of age.


The study is unique because, for the first time, an international dataset of 3D US scans, collected using standardised methods and equipment, has been analysed with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and image processing tools to construct a map showing how the fetal brain matures as pregnancy advances.


The findings add to the global impact of the INTERGROWTH-21st Project, which has previously produced international standards for fetal growth, newborn size and the postnatal growth of preterm babies, that are being widely adopted across the world for clinical and research purposes.


Professor Stephen Kennedy, co-Principal Investigator of the INTERGROWTH-21st Project, who jointly led the study, said: 'The atlas will help scientists answer complex biological questions about the fetal origins of cognitive function in childhood, such as how language is acquired. Using the atlas in combination with the soon to be published international standards describing the complementary growth of the fetal brain will be a valuable clinical tool in specialised, referral centres when brain development appears abnormal on ultrasound.'


Professor Jos Villar, co-Principal Investigator of the INTERGROWTH-21st Project, who jointly led the study, said: 'This is the latest step in the systematic study of early human growth and development that confirms, using the most advanced research methodology applied to a large number of fetal brain scans, the similarities of growth and development of humans across the world when health, educational, nutritional and environmental needs are met: humans are very similar in all domains, including their brains, when conditions are adequate.'


This new fourth edition of the Oxford Bible Atlas, now with twenty-seven full-color maps and eighty-one color illustrations, has been thoroughly revised to bring it up to date with both the most recent biblical scholarship and the most modern discoveries in archaeology and topography.


This authoritative Atlas illuminates the landscape of the biblical world, allowing readers to better understand the geographical context in which the Bible emerged and which formed its background. The colorful, highly accurate maps capture the many ancient locales of the Bible's stories and carefully reflect the successive stages of the Bible's accounts, while specially chosen full-color illustrations bring the countries and their peoples to life. The Atlas covers everything from Genesis to the stories of David and Solomon, the trade routes of the ancient world, the vast empires of Alexander the Great and Rome, and the ministry of Jesus and the formation of the early Church. The accompanying text describes the land of Palestine, and its wider ancient Near Eastern and east Mediterranean settings. It outlines the successive historical periods, and describes the major civilizations with which Israelites, Jews, and early Christians came into contact. There is also an illustrated survey of the relevance of archaeology for the study of the Bible. Finally, the book includes a full chronology, suggestions for further reading, an index of place names, and a general index.

One feature that came to my attention was the use of BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) over the traditional BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini). This is understandable to me as there may be non-Christians that will use this atlas. The use of BCE and CE has become more common in books used for historical purposes.


Looking at the physical aspects of the book, it is of softcover with coloured glossy paper. Though one thing I wished was that a hardcover version to be available. I think Catholic Schools may be able to benefit from this atlas but a softcover atlas will not last that long. At my school, we have copies of the Good News Bible. However, due to their paperback covers, they became worn down over time and hand to be rebound. The size however was a size that I expected of the atlas, approximately that of letter sized paper.


This is the fourth edition. I never owned previous editions of this atlas before. However, I did a quick Google Image search of the covers of previous edition and sure enough, just by looking at the cover itself, the atlas sure changed:


Hallmarks of illness severity involved cells, their inflammatory mediators and networks as potential targets, including progenitor cells and specific myeloid and lymphocyte subsets, features of the immune repertoire, acute phase response, metabolism and coagulation. Persisting immune activation involving p38MAPK/AP- 1 was a specific feature of COVID-19. The plasma proteome enabled sub-phenotyping into patient clusters, predictive of severity and outcome. Tensor and matrix decomposition of the overall dataset revealed feature groupings linked with disease severity and specificity. The systems-based integrative approach and blood atlas will inform future drug development, clinical trial design and personalised medicine approaches for COVID-19.


Professor Julian Knight said: 'This has been possible through an extraordinary team from different disciplines working collaboratively to address an unprecedented health challenge. The work has advanced our understanding of why a small minority of those infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop severe illness, and provides opportunities to identify therapeutic targets and personalise care for patients. An in-depth multi-omic approach revealed the nature of underlying immune dysfunction, the extent to which this is specific to COVID-19 and how this varies between people.'

Comparative structural neuroanatomy is a cornerstone for understanding human brain structure and function. A parcellation framework that relates systematically to fundamental principles of histological organization is an essential step in generating structural comparisons between species. In the present investigation, we developed a comparative parcellation reasoning system (ComPaRe), which is a formal ontological system in human and non-human primate brains based on the cortical cytoarchitectonic mapping used for both species as detailed by Brodmann. ComPaRe provides a theoretical foundation for mapping neural systems in humans and other species using neuroimaging. Based on this approach, we revised the methodology of the original Harvard-Oxford Atlas (HOA) system of brain parcellation to produce a comparative framework for the human (hHOA) and the rhesus monkey (mHOA) brains, which we refer to as HOA2.0-ComPaRe. In addition, we used dedicated segmentation software in the publicly available 3D Slicer platform to parcellate an individual human and rhesus monkey brain. This method produces quantitative morphometric parcellations in the individual brains. Based on these parcellations we created a representative template and 3D brain atlas for the two species, each based on a single subject. Thus, HOA2.0-ComPaRe provides a theoretical foundation for mapping neural systems in humans and other species using neuroimaging, while also representing a significant revision of the original human and macaque monkey HOA parcellation schemas. The methodology and atlases presented here can be used in basic and clinical neuroimaging for morphometric (volumetric) analysis, further generation of atlases, as well as localization of function and structural lesions.
