• Central surface [r]: A surface in between the pial surface and the white matter surface of the cerebral cortex, as reconstructed from neuroimaging data; roughly corresponds to the cortical lamina IV. ^[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]

• Cortical thickness [r]: The combined thickness of the cerebral cortex layers. ^[e]
• Grey matter [r]: A subset of brain tissue that contains few myelinated axons but the somas of nerve cells, as well as glia and endothelial structures. ^[e]
• Gyrification [r]: The folding process during brain development, or the extent of folding. ^[e]
• Hallucination [r]: Perception of objects, sounds, or sensations having no demonstrable reality, usually arising from a disorder of the nervous system or in response to certain drugs. ^[e]
• Human spine [r]: The part of the human body which is composed of the nerves of the spinal cord and its protective covering; the vertebral column or backbone. ^[e]
• Lissencephaly [r]: Condition in which the cortical surface is smooth, as opposed to gyrified. Normal in many mammals and transient in human fetal development but a disorder in humans born with it. ^[e]
