Lost in localization — But found with foci?!

Commentaries by Derrfuss and Mar [Derrfuss, J., Mar, R.A., 2009. Lost in localization: the need for a universal coordinate database. Neuroimage (doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2009.01.053).], Nielsen [Nielsen, F.A., 2009. Lost in localization: a solution with neuroinformatics 2.0? Neuroimage.], Hamilton [Hamilton, A., 2009. Lost in localization: a minimal middle way. Neuroimage.], and Laird and Fox [Laird, A.R., Fox, P.T., 2009 Lost in localization? The focus is meta-analysis. Neuroimage.] agree on the need for a comprehensive database of published stereotaxic coordinates but offer diverse views on how best to achieve this objective. Here, I summarize recent enhancements to the SumsDB database that increase its utility and decrease the impediments to data submission, thereby making it attractive as a resource that can approach comprehensive content in a realistic time frame.
