Definition
An atlas is a collection of maps. Used in a geographic sense, an atlas refers to a collection of maps of an entire planetary body such as that of the Earth or the Mars. In an analogous manner, brain atlases are collections of brain image data where each collection typically spans across one (or more) whole brain. This article primarily provides pointers to other articles dealing with brain atlases. See the Cross-References/Related Terms below.
