SCC-DBS and the habenula. (A) Sagittal and coronal structural T1-weighted MRI slices from an exemplar patient showing the position of the implanted bilateral electrodes. These are placed in the white matter bordering the subcallosal cingulate cortex. (B) Coronal slices of the asymmetrical MNI152 template (42) illustrating the location of the habenula and surrounding structures. The habenula appears bright (hyperintense) on T1-weighted MRI. DBS, deep brain stimulation; MNI, Montreal Neurological Institute; SCC, subcallosal cingulate area.
