Abstract
The increasing number of investigations focusing on the structural and functional organization of the brain makes necessary a better analysis of the results and the construction of tools that facilitate the integration of all this knowledge. We present an anatomical and functional cerebral model using the Visible Human dataset. The anatomical structures were labeled and assigned a unique color. In a parallel way, a database was created for including hierarchical anatomical information and the meta-analysis result from the human brain-mapping literature.
