neuromaps: a toolbox for comparing brain maps
摘要
The growing amount of high-resolution reference brain maps has outpaced our ability to effectively compare and integrate them with experimentally generated maps. We present neuromaps, an open-source toolbox designed to streamline access, transformation, and analysis of brain annotations. Neuromaps offers a curated library of over 80 brain maps across diverse modalities including microstructure, function, electrophysiology, and receptor distributions. It implements robust transformations between major coordinate systems (MNI152, fsaverage, fsLR, and CIVET) and incorporates spatial null models for statistically rigorous assessment of map-to-map similarities. This standardized framework enables systematic workflows for comprehensive structural and functional annotation enrichment analysis of the human brain. By addressing the challenge of comparing data in disparate coordinate systems, neuromaps facilitates discovery across neuroscientific disciplines. As of August 2024, the toolbox has garnered over 200 stars and 50 forks on GitHub, with over 20000 downloads in the past 6 months.

Zhen-Qi Liu is a 5th year PhD student at the Montreal Neurological Institute and McGill University, working under the supervision of Dr. Bratislav Misic. His research focuses on network neuroscience, connectomics, and structure-function relationship in the brain. Zhen-Qi's work aims to unravel how structure supports and constrains function at the macroscale. He is also an active open-source contributor, maintaining several packages from the Network Neuroscience Lab, including neuromaps and netneurotools, which facilitate advanced neuroimaging analysis and network modeling.
