Brain ( Vesalius, 1543 ) : In modern terms Vesalius's definition of the human brain excluded the medulla (Winslow, 1733) and pons (Haller, 1747), which he included with the spinal marrow (Vesalius, 1543); see translation by Richardson & Carman (2002, pp. 176-177, 205).

Cerebrum ( Vesalius, 1543 ) : Synonymous with forebrain (Goette, 1873) together with midbrain (Baer, 1837); see Singer translation (1952, pp. 36, 46-47). Also see His (1895, p. 162).

Lateral ventricles ( VL ; Vesalius, 1543 ) : The part of the ventricles (Hippocrates) in the right and left endbrain (Kuhlenbeck, 1927); they communicate with the unitary third ventricle (Galen, c173) through the interventricular foramina (one for each lateral ventricle). They correspond to the first and second ventricles, were known in macrodissected adult humans to Erasistratus (c310-c250 BC; see Clarke & O'Malley, 1996, p. 12), and were named such by Vesalius (1543; see translation by Singer, 1952, pp. 41, 68).

Spinal marrow ( Vesalius, 1543 ) : Term included the spinal cord (Galen, c162-c166), medulla (Winslow, 1733), and pons (Haller, 1747) of macrodissected adult humans; see translation by Richardson & Carman (2002, p. 222).
