Basal nuclei ( Clark, 1951 ) : Synonym for basal ganglia (Strong & Elwyn, 1943) in macrodissected adult humans, and thus not synonymous with cerebral nuclei (Swanson, 2000); p. 968. Others employing this usage include Warwick & Williams (1973, p. 976; and Williams & Warwick, 1980, p. 1032), International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee (1983, p. A72).
