Some scientists have criticized the brain image-based claims made in scientific journals and the popular press, like the discovery of "the part of the brain responsible" things like love or musical abilities or a specific memory. Functional and structural neuroimaging are at the core of the mapping aspect of brain mapping. īrain mapping techniques are constantly evolving, and rely on the development and refinement of image acquisition, representation, analysis, visualization and interpretation techniques. These maps incorporate individual neural connections in the brain and are often presented as wiring diagrams. At higher resolutions brain maps are called connectomes. In the center of the circles, lines representing white matter fibers illustrate the connections between cortical regions, weighted by fractional anisotropy and strength of connection. Concentric circles within the ring represent various common neurological measurements, such as cortical thickness or curvature. One such map, called a connectogram, depicts cortical regions around a circle, organized by lobes. Brain mapping can be conceived as a higher form of neuroimaging, producing brain images supplemented by the result of additional (imaging or non-imaging) data processing or analysis, such as maps projecting (measures of) behavior onto brain regions (see fMRI). All neuroimaging is considered part of brain mapping.
