Abstract
IN an otherwise excellent review by Lovern1 a statement occurs on p. 32 that demands correction. In discussing the terminology of lipoid-protein complexes, Lovern rejects Macheboeuf's term 'cénapse', in favour of 'complex', claiming that the English spelling of 'cénapse' is 'synapse', to which anatomy has a prior claim.
