Parent topics
- Animal [r]: A multicellular organism that feeds on other organisms, and is distinguished from plants, fungi, and unicellular organisms. [e]
- Neuroscience [r]: The study of nervous systems and their components. [e]
Subtopics
- Central nervous system [r]: The main information-processing organs of the nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and meninges. [e]
- Autonomous nervous system [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Brain [r]: The core unit of a central nervous system. [e]
- Cortex [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Cortex (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
- Cerebellum [r]: The small brain — a part of the hindbrain in vertebrates. [e]
- Nerve [r]: A bundle of nerve fibres that connects the central nervous system with other organs in an animal body. [e]
- White matter [r]: A subset of brain tissue whose volume is dominated by myelinated axons of nerve cells. [e]
- Grey matter [r]: A subset of brain tissue that contains few myelinated axons but the somas of nerve cells, as well as glia and endothelial structures. [e]
- Myelin [r]: The proteinaceous material constituting most of the insulating sheath that surrounds the axons of nerve cells. [e]
- Neurogenesis [r]: The formation of nerve cells from neural progenitor cells by means of cell division. [e]
- Brain plasticity [r]: The ability of the brain to adapt to new situations, e.g. by learning or neurogenesis. [e]
- Synapse [r]: Contact point between neurons and other cells, crucial for nerve signalling [e]
- Glial cells [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cell differentiation [r]: The process by which cells become structurally and functionally specialized. [e]
- Biological signalling [r]: The exchange of signals within and between biological systems. [e]
