Automatically Parcellating the Human Cerebral Cortex

Bruce Fischl · 3 Dec 2003

We present a technique for automatically assigning a neuroanatomical label to each location on a cortical surface model based on probabilistic information estimated from a manually labeled training set. This procedure incorporates both geometric information derived from the cortical model, and neuroanatomical convention, as found in the training set. The result is a complete labeling…

Local-Global Parcellation of the Human Cerebral Cortex from Intrinsic Functional Connectivity MRI

Alexander Schaefer, Ru Kong, Evan M. Gordon et al. · 23 Jun 2017

A central goal in systems neuroscience is the parcellation of the cerebral cortex into discrete neurobiological "atoms". Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) offers the possibility of in vivo human cortical parcellation. Almost all previous parcellations relied on 1 of 2 approaches. The local gradient approach detects abrupt transitions in functional connectivity patterns. These transitions…

Emotion, Decision Making and the Orbitofrontal Cortex

Antoine Bechara · 1 Mar 2000

The somatic marker hypothesis provides a systems-level neuroanatomical and cognitive framework for decision making and the influence on it by emotion. The key idea of this hypothesis is that decision making is a process that is influenced by marker signals that arise in bioregulatory processes, including those that express themselves in emotions and feelings. This…

Tracking Whole-Brain Connectivity Dynamics in the Resting State

Elena A. Allen, Eswar Damaraju, Sergey Plis et al. · 11 Nov 2012

Spontaneous fluctuations are a hallmark of recordings of neural signals, emergent over time scales spanning milliseconds and tens of minutes. However, investigations of intrinsic brain organization based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging have largely not taken into account the presence and potential of temporal variability, as most current approaches to examine functional connectivity (FC)…

Cerebral Cortex template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Cerebral Cortex format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Cerebral Cortex template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Cerebral Cortex use?
Cerebral Cortex uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Cerebral Cortex, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Cerebral Cortex?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Cerebral Cortex document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Cerebral Cortex template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Cerebral Cortex format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Cerebral Cortex?
Oxford University Press journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Oxford University Press.
Can I export a submission-ready Cerebral Cortex PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Cerebral Cortex template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Cerebral Cortex template cost?
You can start writing in the Cerebral Cortex template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Cerebral Cortex PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
