David, Awhile ago you mentioned that there were three macaque volumes (F99, F6, Paxinos) and that the F6 was probably best volume target. When I am searching for these, I can only seem to find F99 in SUMSDB. Do you know where the others are located?
Also, what is the group surface borders based on? Thank you in advance for your help. Best Regards, Donald McLaren ===================== D.G.
