Spanish term or phrase: anodino
I am having a hard time translating "anodino" in an autopsy report in the following sentences:

El hipocampo y la amigdala son anodinas macroscopicamente. (The hippocampus and amygdala are macroscopically anodyne)

Los cortes sagital y parasagitales de los hemisferios cerebelosos son anodinos. (The sagittal and parasagital sections of the cerebellar hemispheres are anodyne)

In the medical field, anodyne typically means a pain killer, not "normal" or "typical."

Please help.

neutral  Joseph Tein: Being first isn't the same as being correct ... I would not say "insignificant" ... it suggests "unimportant." Indeed you could say "no significant findings" but here the text is specifically describing the two brain structures.
