Sorry folks, the attachment seems to have been eaten on my last posting. Here it is, in full, from the post made by Sylvain to the SPM list. Best, Dave. ********************************************************** Dear all, I have been informed today that Jean Talairach passed away at the age of 96. J. Talairach was a neurosurgeon at Saint-Anne hospital in Paris. He revolutionized his field in the late 1940's by defining a patient-based coordinate system and bringing stereotactic apparatus and techniques to maturity. He pushed further his ideas and efforts by elaborating a brain atlas and spatial normalization approach (the Talairach referential and coordinate system) with his long-term colleague Jean Bancaud. "Talairach J, Tournoux P: Co-Planar Stereotaxic Atlas of the Human Brain. New York, Thieme Medical, 1988', is a reference that has been enormously cited in our field. Best regards, Sylvain. ********************************************************************* -- David J McGonigle Director, Centre for Functional Imaging Studies (CFIS) Clinical Neurosciences Western General Hospital (WGH) Crewe Rd EH4 2XU Scotland, UK
