[Brains-users] where to cut the brain stem

[Christoph Christmann]

Hi all,

taking into account the manuals procedure to cut the brain at the 
vertebral arteries I end up with a brain stem cutted oblique and the 
lower part of the cerebellomedullar cinsterna is missing. However, if 
I add the complete cisterna the measured occipital CSF is clearly 
bigger than the Iowa norm. I am very interested in the procedures of 
other groups - it seems necessary to me to include the whole cisterna 
volume to get an overview over the CSF. But regarding the inclusion 
of parts of the brain stem I am not quite sure.

TIA

Christoph
