The commissuro-mamillary plane in MRI of the brain (preliminary communication)
MRI sections of the brain in the coronal plane through the line joining the anterior commissure and the mamillary bodies display the constituent parts of the basal forebrain. The visualisation of the septal nuclei and the anterior columns of the fornix show the importance of this plane in the study of behaviour disorders and amnesic syndromes.
