The importance of gray matter in mental processes has evidently been greatly overestimated, for it has been found to be thicker in the brains of negroes, murderers and ignorant persons than it was in the encephalon of Daniel Webster.
Sir William Hamilton explicitly stated his conclusion thus: “In man the encephalon reaches its full size about seven years of age”; and Tiedemann assigns the eighth year as that in which it attains its greatest development.
The lessening of the blood supply to the encephalon is rather the accompaniment than the cause of sleep.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "encephalon" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: bean; brain; head; noddle; noggin; pate; sconce; sensation
