A generic stereotaxic coordinate system commonly used in animal neuroscience for surgical targeting

and electrode localization. The origin is at bregma, a skull landmark defined as the intersection
281-
of the coronal and sagittal sutures. The x-axis corresponds to the anterior-posterior (AP) axis with
282-
posterior being positive. The y-axis corresponds to the dorsal-ventral (DV) or superior-inferior (SI)
283-
axis with ventral/inferior being positive. The z-axis corresponds to the medial-lateral (ML) axis with
284-
right being positive. Units are typically in millimeters or micrometers.
