Parent topics
- Brain [r]: The core unit of a central nervous system. [e]
- Brain development [r]: The build-up of the brain from ectodermal cells to a complex structure of neurons, glia and blood vessels. [e]
- Brain evolution [r]: The process by which the central nervous system changed over many generations. [e]
- Cerebral cortex [r]: External tissue layer within the vertebrate brain, ensheathed by the pia mater; home to the nerve cell bodies; important in learning and dementia. [e]
Subtopics
- Cortical column [r]: Groups of clonally related neurons in the cortical grey matter, arranged in columns perpendicular to the cortical surface. [e]
- Minicolumn [r]: Vertical column through the cortex layer containing of the order of 80–120 neurons, its purpose connected with cortical organization. [e]
- Cortical thickness [r]: The combined thickness of the cerebral cortex layers. [e]
- Archaeocortex [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Palaeocortex [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Brain morphometry [r]: The quantitative study of structures in the brain, their differences between individuals, correlations with brain function, and changes of these characteristics over time. [e]
- Brain size [r]: Umbrella term for various measures of how big a brain is. [e]
- Acetylcholine [r]: A chemical transmitter in both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) in many organisms including humans. [e]
- Dendrite [r]: A long, thin extension of the cell body of a neuron that is specialised to receive afferent input from other neurons. [e]
- Electrical synapse [r]: Anatomically specialized junction between two nerve cells at which an electrical current flows directly from one cell into the other. [e]
- Gyrification [r]: The folding process during brain development, or the extent of folding. [e]
- Human uniqueness [r]: A theoretical concept in evolutionary studies, often used in discussions about the evolution of biological traits found in humans. [e]
- Mammal [r]: A warm-blooded animal with a backbone which also has hair, and produces milk to feed its young. [e]
- Memory [r]: The cognitive processes that lead to the retaining and recalling of past experience. [e]
- Myelin [r]: The proteinaceous material constituting most of the insulating sheath that surrounds the axons of nerve cells. [e]
- Neuronal migration [r]: The process by which nerve cells travel from the place of their last cell division to their final position in the brain. [e]
- Polymicrogyria [r]: A disorder in which the cortical surface resembles that of a road paved with cobblestones. [e]
