Noun

neuronymy ‎(uncountable)

1. The nomenclature for parts of the brain.
   • 1885, The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal - Volume 113, page 16:

     After giving the subject much attention he had concluded that neuronymy would be most advanced by the employment of technical Latin names as far as possible with an English dress or with a vernacular face and aspect.

   • 1894, Albert Henry Buck (ed), A Reference Handbook of the Medical Sciences Embracing the Entire Range of Scientific and Practical Medicine and Allied Science:

     There are about one hundred Latin encephalic names beginning with corpus; rid of them, neuronymy is relieved, lightened, literally disemoodied.

   • 1897, George Frederick Shrady & ‎Thomas Lathrop Stedman, Medical Record - Volume 51, page 287:

     As a result, the rising generation of students at all our colleges will learn, especially in neuronymy, a brain which differs so greatly in its terms from that of our day that unless we who learned our anatomy many years ago keep “brushed up” we shall not know what in the world the boys are talking about.
