abstract = {The BigBrain dataset represents the first
ultrahigh-resolution 3D model of the human brain at 20 µm
isotropic resolution, reconstructed from 7,404 histological
sections of a human post-mortem brain. This unique dataset
provides the basis for cytoarchitectonic mapping at a level
of anatomical detail that bridges microscopic cellular
organization with macroscale brain imaging. Traditionally,
cytoarchitectonic areas have been delineated on individual
histological sections, resulting in 2D maps that are
difficult to integrate into 3D brain reference spaces.To
address this, we applied the AtLaSUi tool to reconstruct
delineated BigBrain areas in full 3D. This workflow
transforms manual 2D annotations into volumetric,
topologically consistent maps that preserve the fine-grained
borders of cortical regions. The resulting 3D maps enable
spatially continuous visualization of cortical areas and
facilitate direct comparison with structural and functional
neuroimaging data.The reconstructed areas are part of the
Julich-Brain Atlas, a continuously expanding
cytoarchitectonic atlas of the human brain. All maps are
openly available through the EBRAINS research infrastructure
and can be explored, accessed, and programmatically queried
via the siibra tool suite. By making these maps accessible
in a standardized 3D reference space, we contribute to the
integration of microstructural data with multimodal
neuroimaging and to the advancement of open, reproducible
neuroscience.},
