•Digitized versions of Campbell, Smith, Brodmann, von Economo, flechsig and kleist cortical atlases.•Atlases based on microscale histological observations including cytoarchitecture, myeloarchitecture, myelogenesis and loss-of-function lesion mappings.•Cortical atlases digitized in standardized MRI space.•Surface- and volume-based digital atlases available. The parcellation of the brain's cortical surface into anatomically and/or functionally distinct areas is a topic of ongoing investigation and interest. We provide digital versions of six classical human brain atlases in common MRI space. The cortical atlases represent a range of modalities, including cyto- and myeloarchitecture (Campbell, Smith, Brodmann and Von Economo), myelogenesis (Flechsig), and mappings of symptomatic information in relation to the spatial location of brain lesions (Kleist). Digital reconstructions of these important cortical atlases widen the range of modalities for which cortex-wide imaging atlases are currently available and offer the opportunity to compare and combine microstructural and lesion-based functional atlases with in-vivo imaging-based atlases.
