The chapter "Cerebral Hemispheres" by Amunts and Catani illustrates the significant advances in neuroimaging techniques: it includes, among other things, images from the Human Brain Atlas on the digital European research platform EBRAINS, as well as representations using 3D Polarized Light Imaging (3D‑PLI), which makes the trajectories of nerve fiber pathways in the brain visible.
