Basic Atlas plotting

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

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(f"Atlas ROIs are located at: {atlas_ho_filename}")
print(f"Atlas ROIs are located at: {atlas_ju_filename}")

Visualizing the Harvard-Oxford atlas

from nilearn import plotting

plotting.plot_roi(atlas_ho_filename, title="Harvard Oxford atlas")
plot atlas
<nilearn.plotting.displays._slicers.OrthoSlicer object at 0x7f4694b799a0>

Visualizing the Juelich atlas

plotting.plot_roi(atlas_ju_filename, title="Juelich atlas")
plot atlas
<nilearn.plotting.displays._slicers.OrthoSlicer object at 0x7f46afbf11f0>

Visualizing the Harvard-Oxford atlas with contours

plotting.plot_roi(
    atlas_ho_filename,
    view_type="contours",
    title="Harvard Oxford atlas in contours",
)
plotting.show()
plot atlas

Visualizing the Juelich atlas with contours
