Cerebral consonants & transliterarion

Just a question to the list: are "cerebral" consonants the same
as retroflex consonants? I encountered the term while reading
about Sanskrit. Isn't it annoying when someone calls things
in a different way than you're accustomed to? Why would you
call something "cerebral" (unless the etimology of the word
differs from current "brain").

As for this, I'd like to know if anyone out there tends to use
retroflex sounds. I'm trying to incorporate them into a lang
I'm sketching, and I've found there's no "nice" way to transliterate
them (I'm having retroflex t, d, and n, and I can't use uppercase
letters -- they're reserved for other uses and I actually hate
Klingon-like transliteration.) What do you do when this things
happen?
