RADIOGRAPHIC PROJECTION OF A MEDIAN SECTI ON OF THE BRAIN AND SKULL IN GOAT

This study, based on three goats, provides a radiographic projection o f a median section of the brain and the skull. The method allows a top ographic correlation of brain structures with the skull and surroundin g osseous structures. A standard skull position, with the basic horizo ntal plane passing through the external acoustic meatus, and parallel to the floor of the skull, results in a method of localizing brain str uctures in specific transverse planes. This stereotaxic method allows investigators to account for variability in topography between animals in the localization of brain structures through external morphology.
