I read an article about intersegmental connections in the brain.

Root Explanation

Intersegmental → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "segmentum" (meaning a section or segment). The word describes something that exists or occurs between segments or sections.

Memory Tip

Think of something that exists 'between' ('inter-') different 'sections' ('segmentum') — that's what intersegmental means.
