This scientist and René Suttel mapped the Paris catacombs for the French Resistance. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this neurosurgeon who worked with Pierre Tournoux to create an “Atlas” of the human brain based on that of a 60-year-old woman. His namesake coordinate system competes with MNI coordinates.
ANSWER: Jean Talairach (“zhahn tal-ay-RACK”) [accept Talairach Atlas or Talairach coordinates]
[10e] Talairach (“tal-ay-RACK”) coordinates can report outcomes in neuropsychology experiments that use the “functional” type of this radio imaging procedure to track blood flow in the brain. It produced false positives in the “dead salmon” study.
ANSWER: fMRI [or functional MRI or functional magnetic resonance imaging]
[10m] Talairach coordinates are more precise than these 52 divisions of the cerebral cortex. For example, parts of the anterior cingulate cortex that activate in conflict monitoring tasks overlap the 32nd and 33rd of these “areas.”
ANSWER: Brodmann areas
