NeuroNames is a system of nomenclature for the human and/or macaque brain. The brain is the center of the Nervous system in animals All Vertebrates and the majority of Invertebrates have a brain
It is maintained by the University of Washington and is a part of a tool called "BrainInfo". See Washington (disambiguation for other uses The University of Washington, founded in 1861, is a public research University BrainInfo helps one identify structures in the brain. One can either search by a structure name or locate a structure in the brain atlas and get information such as its location in the classical brain hierarchy, other names used for the structure, the name in several languages, images of the structure, what cells it has, connectivity information and genes expressed there.
Currently, NeuroNames contains more than 15,000 neuroanatomical terms (and the number keeps increasing). Neuroanatomy is the science for localizing function in the Human brain. In addition, it defines more than 1,500 other neuroanatomical entities. It is a component of the Metathesaurus of the Unified Medical Language System. The Unified Medical Language System ( UMLS) is a Compendium of many controlled vocabularies in the Biomedical sciences
