The monumental Atlas of Cytoarchitectonics of the Adult Human Cerebral Cortex of Economo and Koskinas represents a gigantic intellectual and technical effort, never sufficiently recognized. One reason might have been the limited number of copies produced; another, the complex (albeit logical and precise) symbol notation, which comprises a Roman capital (from the initial of the respective lobe), a calligraphic capital (the sequence of a gyrus within a lobe), and a Latin or Greek subscript (for microscopic features). Economo and Koskinas defined 107 cortical areas, as opposed to Brodmann's 44 areas for the human brain. Their cytoarchitectonic criteria confer the advantage of a more detailed parcellation scheme, despite the traditional familiarity of neuroscientists with Brodmann numbers. The system of 107 areas of Economo and Koskinas may be especially useful for modern studies on functional localization.
埃克诺莫和科斯金纳斯所著的具有里程碑意义的《成人大脑皮质细胞构筑图谱》代表了一项巨大的智力和技术成果，却从未得到充分认可。一个原因可能是印刷数量有限；另一个原因是其复杂（尽管合乎逻辑且精确）的符号标注，它由一个罗马大写字母（取自相应脑叶的首字母）、一个书法大写字母（脑叶内脑回的顺序）以及一个拉丁或希腊下标（用于微观特征）组成。埃克诺莫和科斯金纳斯定义了107个皮质区域，而布罗德曼为人类大脑定义的是44个区域。尽管神经科学家们传统上更熟悉布罗德曼数字，但他们的细胞构筑标准具有提供更详细分区方案的优势。埃克诺莫和科斯金纳斯的107个区域系统可能对现代功能定位研究特别有用。
