General Neuroanatomy

Thanks for your question. Perhaps a historical perspective will help you (and those who might read your question and others related to anatomical terminology.

There have been many efforts to standardize anatomical terminology since the late 1800's. A number of editions of the Nomina Anatomica were published under the auspices of the International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee (IANC) with the most recent 6th edition published by that group in 1989.
