A system and a method for mapping lesions or damage instances of a brain. The method includes receiving a lesion segmentation mask for the brain and receiving a tractography atlas. A connectivity damage brain map is constructed from (i) superimposing the lesion segmentation mask and a tractography atlas-based image, and (ii) combining information from the lesion segmentation mask with information from the tractography atlas-based image. The tractography atlas-based image is an image obtained from the tractography atlas, and the tractography atlas-based image and the lesion segmentation mask are registered to a common space.
