Anatomical structures	Brodmann area	Talairach coordinate			-score
		Posterior portion of inferior temporal gyrus	37
L					5.20
Fusiform gyrus
L	18/19				4.38
R	19				4.32
Medial surface of occipital lobe	17/18
L					3.83

Coordinates x, y, and z are in millimetres corresponding to the atlas of Talairach and Tournoux. The -coordinate refers to medial-lateral position relative to midline (negative = left); -coordinate refers to anterior-posterior position relative to the anterior commissure (positive = anterior); -coordinate refers to superior-inferior position relative to the anterior commissure-posterior commissure line (positive = superior). -score refers to the maximum pixel of the region. L and R refer to the left and right hemisphere, respectively.
