Table 1 Register of neuroanatomical terms.

From: Invertebrate neurophylogeny: suggested terms and definitions for a neuroanatomical glossary

Left column: All 47 main entries, i.e., those neuroanatomical terms which were given an own definition, are printed in bold. All side entries, i.e., those terms which were not given a specific definition but are as important for neuroanatomical descriptions, are printed in regular. Right column: The numbers refer to all main entries under which the respective term is used. Bold numbers lead to the definition of the respective main entry.
