Abstract
Descriptions of neuroanatomical locations are often ambiguous. With the greatly increasing volumes of imaging data that are being produced and the increasing need to generate databases for the efficient analysis of these data, neuroscientists need to avoid such confusion in nomenclature. Here, I discuss the theory and practice on assigning locations to anatomical data, with a focus on data that have been collected from microscopic sections.
