Log of the TNA public website

This website is dedicated to the Terminologia NeuroAnatomica TNA, open in the public domain since December 2021.

Since 2022, other chapters outside TNA will be progressively added. They are realised starting from TA98, adding TA2 and other findings when necessary. These extensions build the future Terminologia Anatomica Humana TAH, intended to replace all previous editions of the terminology.

Care is given to maintain this website as stable as possible. However, important developments must be progressively added and may impact the overall presentation.

The present page displays in inverted chronologic order the list of the main actions that have been performed on this site. Move to the information buttons in the list in order to see detailed information.
