Brainstem ( Burdach, 1822 ) : Basically a combination of the brainstem (Schwalbe, 1881) and the cerebral nuclei (Swanson, 2000), or basal ganglia (Warwick & Williams, 1973), as originally defined for macrodissected adult humans; p. 11. It corresponds to the oblong marrow (Willis, 1664), and has been used more recently in Burdach's sense by for example Herrick (1915, p. 114), Ranson & Clarke (1959, Fig. 32).

Pallium ( Burdach, 1822 ) : Synonym for cerebral cortex (Bauhin, 1605). Used first by Burdach for macrodissected adult humans (1822, p. 13), and by many others since, including His (1895, p. 85), Nauta & Feirtag (1986, p. 45). In Latin "pallium" refers to a mantle, cloak, or blanket (Oxford Latin Dictionary, 1996).

Spinal nerve ganglia ( GS ; Burdach, 1819 ) : The topographic division consisting of sensory ganglia (Galen, c173) associated with the dorsal roots of the spinal nerve roots (Tiedemann, 1816), divided into cervical spinal ganglia, thoracic spinal ganglia, lumbar spinal ganglia, and coccygeal spinal ganglia. They were discovered in macrodissected adult humans by Coiter (1572, see translation, 1995, pp. 113-115) and named thus by Burdach (1819, vol. 1, p. 136).
