Synonyms

Basal ganglia of telencephalon ( Ranson, 1920 ) : For macrodissected adult humans it includes the caudate and lentiform (putamen and globus pallidus) nuclei, amygdala, and claustrum (p. 252) and is thus not synonymous with cerebral nuclei (Swanson, 2000). More recently it was used in Ranson's sense by for example Clark (1951, p. 968).
