Pugmom - where did you find this and what is it?  A structure, an instrument, a test?  I've looked high and low and just can't figure out what this might be.  I'd like to store away the information for later.

I think everybody has moved on since this word was posted earlier, but I would like to know what this word means and I cannot find it.  Is it an instrument used in brain surgery, a structure in the brain, what, the name of an x-ray, what?  And how did Pugmom find it?  Or did she not find it but found combining forms?  I would be grateful for a helping hand because I am confused.
