abstract = {Cytoarchitecture describes the spatial organization of
neuronal cells in the brain, including their arrangement
into layers and columns with respect to cell density,
orientation, or presence of certain cell types. It allows to
segregate the brain into cortical areas and subcortical
nuclei, links structure with connectivity and function, and
provides a microstructural reference for human brain
atlases. Mapping boundaries between areas requires to scan
histological sections at microscopic resolution. While
recent high-throughput scanners allow to scan a complete
human brain in the order of a year, it is practically
impossible to delineate regions at the same pace using the
established gold standard method. Researchers have recently
addressed cytoarchitectonic mapping of cortical regions with
deep neural networks, relying on image patches from
individual 2D sections for classification. However, the 3D
context, which is needed to disambiguate complex or
obliquely cut brain regions, is not taken into account. In
this work, we combine 2D histology with 3D topology by
reformulating the mapping task as a node classification
problem on an approximate 3D midsurface mesh through the
isocortex. We extract deep features from cortical patches in
2D histological sections which are descriptive of
cytoarchitecture, and assign them to the corresponding nodes
on the 3D mesh to construct a large attributed graph. By
solving the brain mapping problem on this graph using graph
neural networks, we obtain significantly improved
classification results. The proposed framework lends itself
nicely to integration of additional neuroanatomical priors
for mapping.},
