-cerebral o brain?-
Nota d'uso
Nell'inglese di tutti i giorni, quando si parla di problemi medici a livello cerebrale, normalmente non si usa la parola “cerebral”, ma “brain”: Ha avuto un'emorragia cerebrale, she had a brain haemorrhage. L'aggettivo “cerebral” è utilizzato in ambito medico-scientifico, soprattutto in relazione all'anatomia del cervello: corteccia cerebrale, cerebral cortex; emisfero cerebrale, cerebral hemisphere. La parola “cerebral” viene anche comunemente usata in modo figurato quando qualcosa richiede uno sforzo mentale: un gioco da tavolo cerebrale, a cerebral board game; oppure per indicare una persona razionale, che pensa molto: una persona cerebrale, a cerebral person.
