Methodological study demonstrates standardized spatial alignment across functional brain atlases, highlighting enhanced reproducibility for network neuroscience.

Key Points

To create a standardized computational toolbox that quantitatively evaluates and reports spatial correspondence between novel neuroimaging findings and canonical functional brain atlases.
Developed the Network Correspondence Toolbox (NCT) to calculate spatial overlap between user-defined neuroimaging maps and established functional brain atlases.
Implemented Dice coefficient metrics alongside spherical spin test permutations to calculate the magnitude and statistical significance of network correspondence across exemplar demonstrations.
The toolbox provides a standardized framework to align user-defined brain maps with multiple reference atlases.
Demonstrations show that the tool systematically assesses spatial overlap and statistical significance, resolving naming and topographical discordance across studies.
