Parent topics
- Nervous system [r]: The control unit of bodily functions in animals. [e]
- Central nervous system [r]: The main information-processing organs of the nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and meninges. [e]
- Neurobiology [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Neuroanatomy [r]: The branch of anatomy that studies the anatomical organization of the nervous system. [e]
- Neurology [r]: The medical specialty concerned with evaluating the nervous system and the other system that it affects, and the treatment of nervous system disorders. [e]
- Psychiatry [r]: The subfield of health sciences concerned with mental disorders. [e]
- Psychology [r]: The study of systemic properties of the brain and their relation to behaviour. [e]
Subtopics
- 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]
- 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]
- Pons [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cerebrum [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cerebellum [r]: The small brain — a part of the hindbrain in vertebrates. [e]
- Neuron [r]: An excitable cell that is specialized to conduct nerve impulses. [e]
- Glia [r]: Add brief definition or description
- 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]
- 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]
- White matter [r]: A subset of brain tissue whose volume is dominated by myelinated axons of nerve cells. [e]
- Cortical thickness [r]: The combined thickness of the cerebral cortex layers. [e]
- Gyrification [r]: The folding process during brain development, or the extent of folding. [e]
