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
- Brain [r]: The core unit of a central nervous system. [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]
- Surface-based morphometry [r]: A set of computer graphics techniques used to analyze the surface structure of the brain. [e]
Subtopics
- White matter surface [r]: The boundary between white and grey matter of the cerebral cortex, as reconstructed from neuroimaging data. [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]
- 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]
- Gray matter [r]: A spelling variant of grey matter. [e]
- White matter [r]: A subset of brain tissue whose volume is dominated by myelinated axons of nerve cells. [e]
- Cerebrospinal fluid [r]: The liquid in which the central nervous system is embedded. [e]
- Meninx [r]: Add brief definition or description
