Table I. Definitions of 29 Three-Dimensional Landmarks Collected From Each HR-MRI. Landmarks Numbers (Left Side, Right Side) Are Keyed to Figure 2.

3, 4 | Caudolateral-most point of occipital lobe | S | B | C |
5 | Most posterior point on interhemispheric fissure | S | M | C |
6, 7 | Centroid of posterior colliculus | I | B | CBM |
8 | Midline of cerebellar declive | S | M | CBM |

22, 23 | Origin of middle cerebral artery from Circle of Willis on ventral cerebral surface | S | B | C |
24 | Genu of corpus callosum at midline | I | M | C |
25, 26 | Centroid of septal nucleus | I | B | C |
27 | Anterior commissure at midline | I | M | C |
28 | Splenium of corpus callosum at midline | I | M | C |
29 | Intersection of pons with most caudal aspect of the ventral cerebral surface at midline | S | M | C |
Final three columns refer to the general location and characteristics of the landmark and the analytical subset to which the landmark belongs. Landmarks were analyzed in two subsets: the cerebrum subset (C), and the cerebellum and midbrain subset (CBM). Midbrain structures were analyzed with the cerebellum subset.
