Parent topics
- Nervous system [r]: The control unit of bodily functions in animals. [e]
- Brain [r]: The core unit of a central nervous system. [e]
- Brain anatomy [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Brain development [r]: The build-up of the brain from ectodermal cells to a complex structure of neurons, glia and blood vessels. [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]
- 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]
Subtopics
- Lissencephaly [r]: Condition in which the cortical surface is smooth, as opposed to gyrified. Normal in many mammals and transient in human fetal development but a disorder in humans born with it. [e]
- Pachygyria [r]: A congenital malformation of the cerebral hemisphere that results in unusually thick convolutions of the cerebral cortex. [e]
- Agyria [r]: The lack of convolutions of the cerebral cortex. [e]
- Cortical thickness [r]: The combined thickness of the cerebral cortex layers. [e]
- Developmental biomechanics [r]: The study of the physical forces and energies involved in the patterning of a developing organism. [e]
