Figure 1

Orthogonal views for segmenting the amygdala and hippocampus on MRI sections. A three dimensional reconstruction of images (a) in which lines indicate the position of the horizontal plane (b), sagittal plane (c), and coronal plane (d) is shown. The arrow in b indicates the best-fit line along the white matter separating the amygdala from the putamen; the arrow in c represents the white matter that forms the ventral border of the rostral amygdala. A, Amygdala; EC, entorhinal cortex; H, hippocampus; PU, putamen; TLV, temporal horn of the lateral ventricle; WM, subamygdaloid white matter. Figure reproduced with permission from [37].
