title: A method for finding stereotaxic coordinates from brain sections.
abstract: A method for finding the stereotaxic coordinates of brain areas from actual brain sections is presented. It uses a digitizer connected to a computer to gather coordinates from photographs of brain sections. The coordinates are mathematically translated and rotated to yield stereotaxic atlas coordinates of the areas digitized.
