Probabilistic cytoarchitectonic map of Area 6v3 (PreCG) (v11.0)

This dataset contains the probabilistic map (PM) of the ventral premotor area (Area 6v3 (PreCG)) of the ventral precentral gyrus of the human brain. As part of the Julich-Brain Atlas (JBA), the area was identified using cytoarchitectonic analysis on cell-body-stained histological sections of 10 human postmortem brains obtained from the body donor program of the University of Düsseldorf. The results of the cytoarchitectonic analysis were then mapped to common brain reference spaces, where each voxel was assigned the probability to belong to Area 6v3 (PreCG). The PM of Area 6v3 (PreCG) is provided in NifTi-1 format for each brain reference space and hemisphere. The JBA relies on a modular, flexible and adaptive framework containing workflows to create the probabilistic brain maps for these structures that was described by [Amunts et al. in 2020](https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abb4588). Note that methodological improvements and integration of new brain structures may lead to small deviations in earlier released datasets.
