- Acetylcholine [r]: A chemical transmitter in both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) in many organisms including humans. [e]
- Allometry [r]: The study of scaling effects in biology. [e]
- Brain evolution [r]: The process by which the central nervous system changed over many generations. [e]
- Brain morphometry [r]: The quantification of correlations between structures and functions in the brain. [e]
- Brain size [r]: Umbrella term for various measures of how big a brain is. [e]
- Brain [r]: The core unit of a central nervous system. [e]
- Cerebral cortex [r]: External tissue layer within the vertebrate central nervous system; home to the nerve cell bodies; important in learning and dementia. [e]
- Cortical column [r]: Groups of clonally related neurons in the cortical grey matter, arranged in columns perpendicular to the cortical surface. [e]
- Cortical thickness [r]: The combined thickness of the cerebral cortex layers. [e]
- Dendrite [r]: A long, thin extension of the cell body of a neuron that is specialised to receive afferent input from other neurons. [e]
- Electrical synapse [r]: Anatomically specialized junction between two nerve cells at which an electrical current flows directly from one cell into the other. [e]
- Gender [r]: Either the biological sex of an individual human, or their identification with one of those groups. [e]
- Gyrification [r]: The folding process during brain development, or the extent of folding. [e]

- Memory [r]: The cognitive processes that lead to the retaining and recalling of past experience. [e]
- Minicolumn [r]: Vertical column through the cortex layer containing of the order of 80–120 neurons, its purpose connected with cortical organization. [e]
- Myelin [r]: The proteinaceous material constituting most of the insulating sheath that surrounds the axons of nerve cells. [e]
- Neuronal migration [r]: The process by which nerve cells travel from the place of their last cell division to their final position in the brain. [e]
- Polymicrogyria [r]: A disorder in which the brain surface resembles that of a road paved with cobblestones. [e]
