I agree with you heartily about
hemispherectomy
. Glad to see you chose the verbal form
lobotomize
, too; it sounds aptly creepy.

Ah, we've all had that experience of someone offering uninvited medical advice. ;-)
You're right, palooka--the ear is another good anatomy list subject! Hadn't thought of that.

All good suggestions Valse.
Hemispherectomy
is a beautiful word!
Lobotomy
makes me nervous - my friends & family think it would be perfect for me.

Definitely a new favorite. =)
You'd be remiss to leave out
lobotomy
, methinks. That might just be personal
preference
. In a similar vein, House, M.D. taught us about
hemispherectomy
.
dendrites
,
Wernicke's area
and
Broca's area
are a couple more possibilities.

Thanks reseetee! Your "The Eyes Have It" list is excellent! Another interesting anatomical area is the ear - lots of fun terminology. The more we explore words, the more we find, eh?

Nice, palooka! I think I did a list like this on the eyes, way back when. :-)
