cerebral
含义: Relating to the brain or intellect rather than the emotions or physical senses; characterised by or appealing to careful, analytical thinking. In anatomy, relating to the cerebrum.
Cerebral is the opposite of visceral in figurative usage. A 'cerebral' film, novel, or argument engages the mind rather than the gut. The word can be complimentary (intellectually sophisticated) or mildly critical (cold, detached, overthought). In medical contexts, 'cerebral' is strictly anatomical: 'cerebral cortex,' 'cerebral haemorrhage,' 'cerebral palsy.' The British pronunciation stresses the first syllable. It collocates with 'cerebral approach,' 'cerebral thriller,' 'cerebral cortex,' and 'too cerebral.'
