Term Name: regional part of brain
Synonyms: anatomical structure of brain, biological structure of brain, brain anatomical structure, brain biological structure, brain part, neuraxis segment, neuroanatomical region, segment of brain
Definition: Anatomical divisons of the brain according to one or more criteria, e.g. cytoarchitectural, gross anatomy. Parts may be contiguous in 3D or not, e.g., basal ganglia.
