Dear Sarah,
I believe you should take time and study anatomy - this may sound quite boring, but the results pay off > it is easy to get mistaken by automated tools (trust me, sophisticated software sometimes miss the point completely!) > and if you read the guidelines, most authors recomend a visual check before reporting your findings. You will never regret spending time to learn the names and relationships between brain structures - in fact this is how you get to know the structure you are studying :)
See you,
edson
