Over the past century and an half, human brain mapping consisted in pinning small functionally
responsive areas within the brain. However the real extent of these areas and their eventual
overlap remains unknown. The challenge now facing neuroscience is to define boundaries for
functionally responsive areas at the group and the individual level. Many approaches parcellating
the brain in areas with different features became recently available including post-mortem and
in vivo architectonics, tractography-based connectivity, functional coactivation, and resting state
functional connectivity. However, what these methods really measure and what conclusion can
be drawn, are not yet fully clear to the scientific community. This course addresses this need and
is intended for a large audience of research scientist (e.g. from beginner to advanced level).
