This is a Python code to find the anatomical brain region of a MNI coordinate.
The original code is a matlab one from Xu Cui found in his website
The TDdatabase.mat file is also found in Xu Cui's website
Let's find the structure of two points in MNI coordinates (58,-29,19) and (30,9,12):
mni=[[58,-29,19],[30,9,12]]
[one_line,table]=find_structure(mni)We see the results
>>> one_line[0]
' // Right Cerebrum // Parietal Lobe // Postcentral Gyrus // Gray Matter // brodmann area 40 // Temporal_Sup_R (aal)'
>>> one_line[1]
' // Right Cerebrum // Sub-lobar // Extra-Nuclear // White Matter // undefined // undefined'
>>> table
