Andrew, you made my day. All this time I thought those fancy latin names for parts of our brains were so sophisticated!! They named the hippocampus after a sea monster because of its shape. Wow. I guess it makes sense. Shape was all they had to go on. They certainly didn't know what all those parts did. Tell us more about the nomenclature!
