alt_id: UBERON:0005237
def: "In humans: a bone on the dorsal side of the great foramen of the skull, usually forming a part of the occipital in the adult, but distinct in the young[DF]. In teleosts: Large shield-shaped unpaired median cartilage bone that contact the parietal anteriorly, and the exocciptial and epiotic laterally. Forms the posterodorsal most point of the cranium. The supraoccipital usually bears a crest that extends posterodorsally." [ZFA:0000595]

def: "Subdivision of skeletal system that surrounds and protects the brain. Includes the skull base, sensory capsules and the central part of the skull roof." [Wikipedia:Neuroranium, ZFA:0001580, PMID:11523816]
comment: Development notes: The cartilaginous parts of the neurocranium undergo endochondral ossification in most species; ossification has been lost in cartilaginous fishes, but the cartilaginous condition of the skull of lampreys is considered to be primitive (Kardong, 1995)[PMID:11523816]. The neurocranium arises from paraxial mesoderm in the head (first five somites and the unsegmented somitomeres rostral to the first somite) and from ectoderm via the neural crest. In Chondrichthyes and other cartilaginous vertebrates this portion of the cranium does not ossify; it is not replaced via endochondral ossification[WP]. Composition notes: It includes the following bones: Ethmoid bone, Frontal bone, Occipital bone, Parietal bone, Sphenoid bone, Temporal bone. The term cranium can be ambiguous, in that it can refer to the neurocranium, or the neurocranium and the Facial skeleton[WP] AO notes: It seems MA uses 'neurocranium' as a synonym for chondrocranium. Note there are currently some structures part of both viscero and neurocranium - ethmoid, zyogomatic, ...

Following changes were made. Note that for some parts, e.g. skull more work needs to be done.
supraoccipital: demoted to external_definition, pan-vertebrate definition should be supplied by experts
basioccipital : used def from Palaeos
neurocranium: multi-sourced definition, incl. Kardong. Retain, as it is standard to use "subdivision of skeletal system ..." defs in Uberon rather than "anatomical cluster defs (open to discussion). Added TAO:MAH to provenance list
mandibular symphysis: retain slightly modified TAO def (note: consider creating separate issue for discussion of mandible vs dentary). Added provenance info
parasphenoid: used Palaeos def for now
cusp of tooth - definition unaltered, corrected provenance to credit TAO
parietal bone (teleost) - used TAO def and credited it. Obviously there is more to be said about the parietal issue consider a new issue for this..
Uberon has 128 text defs that are taken directly from ZFA or in which the ZFA text was used. For 7 of these, there was a TAO-sourced definition that should be used in its place (or generalized further).
