NOMINA ANATOMICA, Fifth Edition

International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. Baltimore, MD: Williams and Wilkins Co., 1983.

Report of international committees convened periodically to develop consensus on nomenclatures for human anatomy; Latin nomenclature; little narrative description; no illustrations; the most authoritative source for a hierarchical neuroanatomical nomenclature of major subdivisions of the brain.

The upper levels of the Latin brain hierarchy of NeuroNames are based primarily on this source. Changed names introduced in Nomina-89 are included as synonyms in NeuroNames.
