Matthias,
In DBPedia, the following pages describe 2 brain regions
(Telencephalon
and Cerebrum):
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Telencephalon
http://dbpedia.org/page/Cerebrum
NIFSTD is listed as one of the neuroscience ontologies through
BioPortal, its description of cerebrum is available at:
http://bioportal.bioontology.org/visualize/39595/p15:birnlex_1042
If you read the editorial note (written by Bill Bug), it says:
"It isn't clear all would agree Cerebrum and Telencephalon are
equivalent."
Should we use "sameAs" or something else?
If the two are not equivalent, then you need something else. See if any
of the SKOS: predicates fit:

Thanks for the pointer, Michel. I will go through SKOS to see if there
is anything that is appropriate for describing the relationship between
Telecephalon and Cerebrum probably in consultation with neuroscientists.
