| The term bicommissural line refers to a reference line in the midline sagittal plane that defines the horizontal plane for brain stereotaxis. In the human it is defined (Talairach-57) as the line passing through the upper border of the anterior commissure and the lower border of the posterior commissure. In the macaque it is defined as the line passing through the centers of the anterior commissure and the posterior commissure (Martin-96; Martin-97). |
