- (entomology): In insect brains, peduncles connects the lobes of the parts of the brain (the mushroom bodies) and extend through the brain. Peduncles are central nerve tracks. In arthropods, the base part of an antenna, connecting the antenna to the head is also called the peduncle.
It depends in what context the word is used. A pendulous describes a stalk like the stalk of a flower. In medical terms it describes the stalk like structures at the base of the brain.
