| dc.description.abstract | The law of Non-Original Malappropriate Eponymous Nomenclature (NOMEN) states that no phenomenon is named after its discoverer (Stigler, 1980; Aresti and Ramachandran, 2012; Aronson, 2014). However, eponymous terms are rife in the anatomical and medical literature. Here the authors support the argument that eponymous terms do not have a firm place and should not be used in anatomy education. | en_US |
