| cerebral ventriculography | Radiography of the ventricular system of the brain after injection of air or other contrast medium directly into the cerebral ventricles. It is used also for X-ray computed tomography of the cerebral ventricles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebral vesicle | Each of the three divisions of the early embryonic brain (prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon). Synonym: encephalic vesicle, primary brain vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| granular layers of cerebral cortex | Layers 2 (outer) and 4 (inner) of the cortex cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle cerebral artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the two large terminal branches (with anterior cerebral artery) of the internal carotid artery; it passes laterally around the pole of the temporal lobe, then posteriorly in the depth of the lateral cerebral fissure; for descriptive purposes it is divided into three parts: 1) the sphenoidal part (M1 segment of clinical terminology), supplying perforating branches to the internal capsule, thalamus, and striate body; 2) the insular part, supplying branches to the insula and adjacent cortical areas; and 3) the terminal part or cortical part, supplying a large part of the central cortical convexity (the latter two collectively forming M2 segment). Synonym: arteria cerebri media. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular layer of cerebral cortex | Layer 1 of the cortex cerebri. Synonym: plexiform layer of cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| commissure of cerebral hemispheres | <anatomy> A great commissure (connection) between the two cerebral hemispheres (right and left). (13 Nov 1997) |
| congenital cerebral aneurysm | Localised dilation of a cerebral vessel; usually a berry aneurysm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexiform layer of cerebral cortex | Layer 1 of the cortex cerebri. Synonym: plexiform layer of cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus of anterior cerebral artery | <anatomy, artery> An autonomic plexus accompanying the anterior cerebral artery, derived from the internal carotid plexus. Synonym: plexus arteriae cerebri anterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus of middle cerebral artery | <anatomy, artery> An autonomic plexus accompanying the middle cerebral artery, derived from the internal carotid plexus. Synonym: plexus arteriae cerebri mediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical part of middle cerebral artery | <anatomy, artery> See: middle cerebral artery. Synonym: pars corticalis arteriae cerebralis mediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postcommunical part of anterior cerebral artery | <anatomy, artery> The continuation of the anterior cerebral artery after the anterior communicating artery; it supplies branches to the cerebral cortex as it passes along the corpus callosum. Synonym: pars postcommunicalis arteria cerebri anterior, arteria pericallosa, postcommunical part of anterior cerebral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
