Coordinates from Talairach’s brain atlas34, such that x is the distance in millimeters to the right (+) or left (−) of midline, y is the distance anterior (+) or posterior (−) to the anterior commissure, and z is the distance above (+) or below (−) a horizontal plane through the anterior and posterior commissures.
