[Topography of the optic thalamus, caudate and lenticular nuclei of the human brain in frontal section (an anatomical-statistical study applied to stereotaxis)].

Topographic coordinates of the thalamus, caudate and lentiform nuclei of the human brain in relation to the medial-sagittal plane and inferior-medial part of the corpus callosum were studied in 70 preparations. The parameters under study are characterized by mean values of the variants and square deviations. Detailed tables of these values are given which may be employed in stereotaxical calculations for all coordinates, for men and women separately, for the right and left hemispheres, brachy- and mesencephaly. Statistically reliable differences of coordinates found for 3 of 13 parameters studied were not regular. The necessity to identify the above subgroups in topometrical investigations of the human brain is under doubt.
