- 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]

- Central nervous system [r]: The main information-processing organs of the nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and meninges. [e]
- Peripheral nervous system [r]: The part of the nervous system consisting of the nerves and neurons that reside or extend outside the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) to serve the limbs and organs. [e]
- Basal ganglia [r]: A cluster of nerve cell bodies at the base of the forebrain in vertebrates. [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 connectivity [r]: The degree to which different subunits of the cerebral cortex are linked to each other via nerve fibres. [e]
- Cortical thickness [r]: The combined thickness of the cerebral cortex layers. [e]
- Cortical variability [r]: The distribution of shapes of the cortical surface across a population of brains. [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]
- 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]
- Physical examination [r]: Systematic and thorough inspection of the patient for physical signs of disease or abnormality. [e]
- Psychiatry [r]: The subfield of health sciences concerned with mental disorders. [e]
- Red nucleus [r]: Structure in the rostral midbrain involved in motor coordination, which comprises a caudal magnocellular and a rostral parvocellular part. [e]
- White matter [r]: A subset of brain tissue whose volume is dominated by myelinated axons of nerve cells. [e]
