^*Coordinates are from the Montreal Neurological Institute brain atlas, such that x is the distance in millimetres to the right (+) or left (−) of midline, y is the distance in millimetres anterior (+) or posterior (−) to the anterior commissure, and z is the distance in millimetres superior (+) or inferior (−) to a horizontal plane through the anterior and posterior commissures.
