Abstract: The human brain's cerebral cortex is crucial for sensory and motor processing, as well as for mental functions such as interpreting language and logical reasoning, the complexity of which distinguishes us from other animals. On page 171, Glasser et al.1 describe an updated map of the human cerebral cortex. This long-awaited advance provides a reference atlas that will allow those researching brain structure, function and connectivity to work within a common, systems-neuroscience framework.Regional differentiation within the cerebral cortex has long prompted attempts to identify the cortex's distinct compartments, from classical neuroanatomical studies at the beginning of the twentieth century to modern non-invasive, in vivo methods based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Such endeavours are complicated by the fact that every location in the brain can be described by an almost infinite set of features, including density of receptor proteins for various neurotransmitter molecules, long-range connections to other parts of the brain, and specialization for neural computations that support specific functions. Almost all previous studies have attempted to delineate cortical compartments using a single feature (Fig. 1). By contrast, Glasser and colleagues capitalize on the unprecedented quality and breadth of MRI data gathered by the Human Connectome Project, the aim of which is to elucidate the neural pathways that underlie brain function and behaviour using cutting-edge brain-imaging methods
