Maybe, but doesn't look like a technical; where's the argument in support of this name? Where did the current name come from?

The argument is that the posterior cochlear nucleus is entered as the dorsal cochlear nucleus - widely preferred on ngrams and much more widely referred to; it is a nonsense to have the anterior cochlear nucleus instead of referring to it as the ventral c.n. Dorsal - ventral; anterior - posterior.--

Comment – it's not about matching dorsal. The article currently says its topic is the AVCN; there's also the PVCN; together these are the VCN. But what exactly is the topic here? I'd like to see someone make a coherent argument based on looking at the article, not just at the title.

Comment - thanks for the input
Dicklyon - hadn't really looked at subject just seen it often referred to as 'ventral cochlear nucleus'. Seems that the page does need to be re-named to the acknowledged 'ventral cochlear nucleus' and the content changed to refer to both parts of this - the 'posterior ventral cochlear nucleus' is not covered anywhere. As it is it's very unclear - the infobox just refers to ventral cochlear nucleus. --

Support The terms "ventral cochlear nucleus" and "anterior cochlear nucleus" both name the same structure, as does the term "anteroventral cochlear nucleus". However according to a Google Scholar search the "ventral" and "anteroventral" forms are both used about 100 times more widely than the "anterior" form.
