NTR: terms related to neurocranium

[sabrinatoro]

From ZDB-PUB-160411-1: I am either missing some anatomy terms, or I am unable to identify the corresponding terms to curate this publication. These terms are:

• postchordal neurocranium
• anterior/posterior basicapsular commissure [these elements encircle the developing ear, so I think that these terms would be children of "auditory capsule", which already has children terms]
• lateral commissure

I cannot find any definition for these terms, only images with annotations.

The ontology would look like this: neurocranium

prechordal (anterior region of the neurocranium, neural crest-derived) postchordal (posterior region of the neurocranium)

parachordals lateral commissure occipital arches auditory capsule

anterior basicapsular commissure (abc) posterior basicapsular commissure (pbc)

Are these bone or nervous system structures?

[sabrinatoro]

these are bones

From ZDB-PUB-160411-1: The neurocranium can be split into anterior and posterior halves (dashed line in Fig. 1A). While much research has been directed at the development of the neural crest-derived prechordal neurocranium (Fig. 1A, prech.), little is known of the development of the postchordal neurocranium (Fig. 1A, postch.). The postchordal neurocranium includes the parachordal cartilages (pc), which abut the notochord (n); as well as the anterior and posterior basicapsular commissures (abc and pbc, respectively) which encircle the developing ear, the lateral commissures (lc), and the occipital arches (oc) (Fig. 1A; de Beer, 1937).

Made new terms anterior basicapsular commissure, lateral basicapsular commissure and posterior basicapsular commissure. Use post composition or individual cartilages for basil region of neurocranium. Figuring out neurocranial subdivisions is a moderately large project

@cerivs : what terms should I use for :

• postchordal neurocranium
• lateral commissure ?

Not sure which correct (as in "most precise") terms should be used. Thanks!

[cerivs]

lateral commissure = lateral basicapsular commissure

postchordal neurocranium= posterior region neurocranium
