Recent advances in mapping cortical areas in the human brain provide a basis for investigating the significance of their spatial arrangement. Here we describe a dominant gradient in cortical features that spans between sensorimotor and transmodal areas. We propose that this gradient constitutes a core organizing axis of the human cerebral cortex, and describe an intrinsic coordinate system on its basis. Studying the cortex with respect to these intrinsic dimensions can inform our understanding of how the spectrum of cortical function emerges from structural constraints.

人类皮层组织中的大规模梯度

绘制人类大脑皮层区域的最新进展为研究其空间排列的重要性提供了基础。在这里，我们描述了跨越感觉运动和跨模式区域的皮层特征的主要梯度。我们提出这个梯度构成了人类大脑皮层的核心组织轴，并在此基础上描述了一个内在的坐标系。研究关于这些内在维度的皮层可以让我们了解皮层功能的频谱如何从结构约束中出现。
