Pia mater: The innermost of the meninges; surrounds the entire brain and spinal cord, descends into sulci. [e]
This article contains just a definition and optionally other subpages (such as a list of related articles), but no metadata. Create the metadata page if you want to expand this into a full article.
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]
- Brain [r]: The core unit of a central nervous system. [e]
- Neuroanatomy [r]: The branch of anatomy that studies the anatomical organization of the nervous system. [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 mapping [r]: The projection of brain properties onto a standard coordinate system. [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]
- Brain segmentation [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Brain size [r]: Umbrella term for various measures of how big a brain is. [e]
- Brain ventricle [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]
- Cerebrospinal fluid [r]: The liquid in which the central nervous system is embedded. [e]
- Gyrification [r]: The folding process during brain development, or the extent of folding. [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]
- Pial surface [r]: A surface representing the boundary between grey matter and cerebrospinal fluid, as reconstructed from neuroimaging data; roughly corresponds to the position of the pia mater. [e]
