Epiathroid

It is a condition characteristic of the Mesogastropoda and Neogastropoda, and is the obverse of the more-primitive hypoathroid condition in which the pleural and pedal ganglia lie close together under the animal's gut and communicate with the cerebral ganglia via long connectives.

Eustace Scrubb

In Lewis' essay The Abolition of Man, he argues that modern education is producing "men without chests" – people whose lives are divided between the purely cerebral and the purely visceral, without any middle ground of sentiment or imagination—and Eustace (in his initial state) is clearly intended to be one of these.

Facundo Arana

He reached the base camp at 5,364 metres (17,598 ft) but the Altitude sickness made him stop climbing for a few days, during his second attempt Arana's illness progressed to high altitude pulmonary HAPE and cerebral HACE edema which led to Arana's emergency evacuation to Kathmandu.

Frank Henderson Mayfield

Charles Drake worked with Mayfield to develop a fenestrated clip through which the posterior cerebral artery could pass, thus facilitating occlusion of basilar terminus aneurysms.

Guillaume Dupuytren

Dupuytren's success at draining a cerebral abscess is referred to in Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary: "not Dupuytren, about to open up an abscess through a thick encephalic layer" (Part Two, Chapter 11).

Hypoathroid

It is a condition that is characteristic of the Archaeogastropoda clade, and is the inverse of the evolutionarily more recent epiathroid condition, characteristic of the Mesogastropoda and Neogastropoda, in which the pleural, pedal, and cerebral ganglia all lie close together.

Cécile Vogt-Mugnier and her husband Oskar Vogt came up with the idea of pathoclisis through their research on insects and the human cerebral cortex.

Paul Niehans

In 1937, stimulated by the work of the neurosurgeon Harvey Williams Cushing, Niehans first used cerebral cells, from the hypothalamus and the hypophysis.

Periventricular

Periventricular leukomalacia, a disease characterized by the death of the white matter near the cerebral ventricles

Posterior cerebral artery

Splenial, or the posterior pericallosal branch, sometimes anastamoses with the anterior cerebral artery (ACA), and may not be present if the ACA wraps around the corpus callosum

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome

The disease carries the name of Gregory Call and Marie Fleming, the first authors of the 1988 report in which doctors from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts (including Miller Fisher) described four patients with the characteristic symptoms and abnormal cerebral angiogram findings.
