The target lesion sub-units (1 to 6) were adapted for intercommissural length <26mm, 0.9mm below the intercommissural plane. mtt (mammillothalamic tract), ic (internal capsule), mcl (mid-commissural line), tb (thalamic border). Coordinates of target lesion sub-unit 1: lateral 7.5mm (L 7.5), 2.7mm posterior to MCL (MCL-2.7) and 1mm ventral to the intercommissural plane (V1); 2: L5.5, MCL-2.7, V1; 3: L7.5, MCL-0.7, V1; 4: L6.5, MCL+1, V1; 5: L5.5, MCL-0.7, V1; and 6: L6.5, MCL-1.7, V1.
