Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation matrices associated to Myelin‐Nets for the Young Age (panel a) and Old Age (panel b) groups for the different gray matter parcellations (AAL, Neuromorphometrics, Brainnetome and Gordon atlases). In panel a (similar to all plotted correlation matrices), the “R–R” and “L–L” quadrants represent the intrahemispheric myelin correlations in the right and left hemispheres, respectively. The “R–L” and “L–R” quadrants depict the interhemispheric interactions. The diagonal of the “L–R” quadrant shows the correlations in myelination between homologous structures across hemispheres. The color bar on the right represents the scale of the Pearson correlation coefficients using a “jet” color map [Color figure can be viewed at http://wileyonlinelibrary.com ]

Article Title: Probabilistic comparison of gray and white matter coverage between depth and surface intracranial electrodes in epilepsy: a patient-specific modeling and empirical study

doi: 10.1101/2021.08.04.21261603

Figure Lengend Snippet: Overview of Methods. A . The processing pipeline used patient specific imaging. All patients were processed through LeGUI, FreeSurfer, and SIMNIBS, while only surface electrode patients received extra processing to project the electrodes to the smoothed gray matter surface as well as left and right hemisphere segmentation for interhemispheric contacts. Overlap of gray and white matter segmentations with RoIs were used to calculate volumes of gray and white matter coverage. A subset of patients were used to run FEM-based RoIs. Reported sample sizes indicate the number of patients included in each implant category. B . Electrode localization was performed in the freely available LeGUI software to mark strip, grid, and depth electrodes across a cohort of 65 patients. LeGUI automatically processes probabilistic gray and white matter segmentations and numerous atlas registrations including the AAL and NMM atlases. C . Substantial brain shift is frequently observed in subdural electrodes cases during surgical implantation. After image co-registration, the subdural electrodes localized from the CT may appear inside of the brain (yellow) rather than on top of the cortical surface. D . All subdural electrodes were projected (yellow – original location, black – projected location) onto the smooth gray matter surface according to Hermes et al., 2010. E . In patients with interhemispheric subdural electrodes, the left and right hemisphere segmentations were created in FreeSurfer so that volumes would be restricted to the hemisphere from which the electrode recorded neural activity. F . Spheres at fixed radii from 1-15 mm at 0.5 mm steps were placed at the contact centroids. 10 mm RoIs are shown in blue. Overlap of spherical volumes with gray and white matter segmentations quantify the amount of gray and white matter coverage for different modalities.
