Google Earth Map Of The Brain Known As The Julich-Brain.

This new atlas is a probabilistic map of human brains that accounts for individual variations using a computational framework, rather than creating a static PDF of a brain map. 

The Julich-Brain atlas continuously changes to incorporate the most recent brain mapping results. The atlas continuously adapts to process in mapping technologies to aid brain modelling and simulation, and also link to other atlases and alternatives. 



The atlas includes the brain cytoarchitecture, or how cells are organized. Cytoarchitecture maps draw out the physical arrangement of neurons, capture how they are divided into the brain, what they seem like, and how they layer inside and between different brain regions.

These maps provide the brain's geographical designs from which they try to decipher functional connections. Work on the Julich-Brain atlas began in the mid-1990s, and can now be contributed to brain modelling and simulation down the line. The map could also pool unmapped regions in the cortex into gap maps providing neuroscientists with a better idea of what still to be understood.
