- 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]
- Corpus callosum. The largest commissure in the mammalian brain, connecting the two brain hemispheres.
- 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]
- Voxel-based morphometry [r]: A variant of brain morphometry in which digital images of brains are compared on the basis of properties of groups of voxels. [e]
