Key points
- AAL3 adds 26 new brain areas to the automated anatomical labeling atlas.
- New areas include subdivisions of the anterior cingulate cortex (subgenual, pregenual, supracallosal).
- The thalamus is now parcellated into 15 distinct parts.
- Key subcortical nuclei such as nucleus accumbens, substantia nigra, and ventral tegmental area are included.
- The AAL3 atlas is available as a toolbox for SPM and usable with MRIcron.

Abstract
Following a first version AAL of the automated anatomical labeling atlas (Tzourio-Mazoyer et al., 2002), a second version (AAL2) (Rolls et al., 2015) was developed that provided an alternative parcellation of the orbitofrontal cortex following the description provided by Chiavaras, Petrides, and colleagues. We now provide a third version, AAL3, which adds a number of brain areas not previously defined, but of interest in many neuroimaging investigations. The 26 new areas in the third version are subdivision of the anterior cingulate cortex into subgenual, pregenual and supracallosal parts; subdivision of the thalamus into 15 parts; the nucleus accumbens, substantia nigra, ventral tegmental area, red nucleus, locus coeruleus, and raphe nuclei. The new atlas is available as a toolbox for SPM, and can be used with MRIcron.
