Illustrations

To provide an illustration of a structure, NeuroNames first takes you to its standard name and abbreviation. Then it takes you to the page of the Template Atlas where it is illustrated. If the structure appears in more than one template, it shows you the template where the center of the structure appears and you can navigate to templates more anterior and posterior to view its full extent.
