Abstract

The goal of functional stereotactic surgery is to stimulate or ablate selected targets in the brain. The usual targets are subcortical nuclei and white matter tracts. To accomplish this goal, the three-dimensional coordinates of the target sites must be precisely determined. The traditional tool for this purpose has been the stereotactic atlas.
