Nucleus tractus solitarii

Dear Joel.geerling, my apologies for correcting the spelling of nucleus tractus solitarius in the title of your article. I did not pay attention to the fact that it was part of the title of a journal article. However, nucleus tractus solitarii is the correct orthography. Although tractus is a fourth declension noun, with the genitive case tractus, solitarius is just an ordinary second declension adjective and not a fourth declension adjective and has accordingly solitarii as genitive case. The adjective and the noun do not necessarily have corresponding declensions in an anatomical expression, e.g. gyrus (2nd) temporalis (3rd) superior (3rd), facies (5th) convexa (1st) cerebri (2nd, genitive case), cornu (4th) Ammonis (3th, genitive case) et cetera.

Locus caeruleus

I read that you advocate the spelling locus coeruleus instead of locus ceruleus. However, both spellings are incorrect. See my explanation at the history section of locus coeruleus. Pubmed is riddled with incorrect Latin grammar and spelling. With kind regards, Wimpus (talk) 08:51, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
