biogeo, One of my favorite things in #neuroanatomy is the number of structures with names like "nucleus ambiguus" (ambiguous nucleus), "substantia innominata" (unnamed stuff), and "zona incerta" (uncertain zone).
If I were making a neuroanatomical atlas in the 19th century, I definitely would have called something "locus draconum," as in the old navigational charts' "here be dragons".
