-{{Image|Brain-MRI-location-guide.png|right|350px|[[MRI]] scan of a [[human brain]], with several key anatomical structures labeled. Abbreviations: CC, [[cerebellum]]; DMT, dorsal medial [[thalamus]]; Hypo, [[hypothalamus]]; LAI/RAI, left/right anterior [[insula]]; LAP/RAP, left/right posterior insula; LCN/RCN, left/right [[caudate nucleus]]; LG, [[lingual gyrus]]; LHipp/RHipp, left/right [[hippocampus]]; LI/RI, left/right insula; PLT, posterior lateral thalamus; VLT, ventral lateral thalamus. Distances from the [[anterior commissure]] and orientation, based on the standard [[Montreal Neurological Institute space]], are (A) 5 mm superior, (B) 5 mm left, (C) 27 mm right, and (D) 19 mm posterior. Distance increases from left-to-right for [[sagittal]] (side) views, posterior-to-anterior for [[coronal]] views, and inferior to superior for [[axial]] (transverse) views. The background image is a high-resolution scan from a single participant (normalized to Montreal Neurological Institute space).}}
