Collator argument
The hierarchy was constructed based on the information provided in the atlas (pages 281-287), and on the latest version of the hierarchical tree provided by the first author of the atlas. The lingual gyrus appears as belonging to two diffenrent hierarchies: one related to the medial occipito-temporal gyrus (MOTG) and one related to the occipital lobe. We have included this structure as a leaf of the occipital lobe hierarchy, based on the NeuroNames brain nomenclature (Bowden 2002).
