- nucleus the central structure of the lens that is surrounded by the cortex
- cortex the layer of unmyelinated neurons (the grey matter) forming the cortex of the cerebrum

- cortical of or relating to a cortex
- subcortical of or relating to or being or involving nerve centers below the cerebral cortex
- brainwave (neurophysiology) rapid fluctuations of voltage between parts of the cerebral cortex that are detectable with an electroencephalograph
- acth a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal cortex
- cortisol an adrenal-cortex hormone (trade names Hydrocortone or Cortef) that is active in carbohydrate and protein metabolism
