2D:4D
- The ratio of 2nd and 4th finger (digit) length. This ratio has been suggested to relate to high fetal testosterone concentration (males have lower 2D:4D than females) and also thought to be an indicator of various neurological abnormalities. To measure, using your right hand palm up, measure the index finger (2) and ring finger (4) length from palm to tip. Dividing the index finger by the ring finger gives the 2D:4D ratio, average women ratio is 1, average men is 0.98. Supporting reference "The use of digit ratios as markers for perinatal androgen action." Reprod Biol Endocrinol. 2006 Feb 26;4:10. PMID:16504142., see also alternative result for mice PMID:19495421.

3rd ventricle
- (third ventricle) A fluid-filled space formed from neural tube lumen, located within the diencephalon (from the primary vesicle, prosencephalon or forebrain). In the adult this region lies between the two thalamic bodies. The massa intermedia passes through it and the hypothalamus forms its floor and part of its lateral walls.
4th ventricle
- (fourth ventricle) A fluid-filled space formed from neural tube lumen, located within the rhombencephalon (from the primary vesicle, hindbrain). This ventricle is connected to the subarachnoid space via two lateral foramina of Luschka and by one medial foramen of Magendie.
CN I to XII
- Human cranial nerve (CN) are traditionally represented by roman numerals. These are paired nerves emerging from the brain and not the spinal cord.
- I - Olfactory nerve (sensory) II - Optic Nerve (sensory) III - Oculomotor nerve (mainly motor) IV - Trochlear nerve (mainly motor) V - Trigeminal nerve (both sensory and motor) VI - Abducens nerve (mainly motor) VII - Facial nerve (both sensory and motor) VIII - Vestibulocochlear nerve (auditory-vestibular nerve or statoacoustic nerve; mostly sensory) IX - Glossopharyngeal nerve (both sensory and motor) X - Vagus nerve (both sensory and motor) XI - Accessory nerve (cranial accessory nerve or spinal accessory nerve; mainly motor) XII - Hypoglossal nerve (mainly motor)
- (More? Neural System Development)
