[Anatomic correlation between several cortical and subcortical brain structures]

Investigation of frontal brain sections of 10 cats, 30 dogs and 20 people revealed a topographic correlation between certain cortical and subcortical structures: the beginning of fissura. Sylvii (the so-called "fossa Sylvii") and commissura alba cerebri anterior are located always in the same stereotaxic frontal plane. A method of practical application of the revealed topographic correlation is suggested for the stereotaxic operations on higher animals and human beings.
