- 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]
