9.2.3. Basic Atlas plotting

Plot the regions of a reference atlas (Harvard-Oxford and Juelich atlases).

9.2.3.1. Retrieving the atlas data

from nilearn import datasets

dataset_ho = datasets.fetch_atlas_harvard_oxford('cort-maxprob-thr25-2mm')
dataset_ju = datasets.fetch_atlas_juelich('maxprob-thr0-1mm')

atlas_ho_filename = dataset_ho.filename
atlas_ju_filename = dataset_ju.filename

print('Atlas ROIs are located at: %s' % atlas_ho_filename)
print('Atlas ROIs are located at: %s' % atlas_ju_filename)

Out:
