Definition that contains cerebral 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
  • grey matter greyish nervous tissue containing cell bodies as well as fibers; forms the cerebral cortex consisting of unmyelinated neurons
  • corticoafferent of a nerve fiber or impulse originating outside and passing toward the cerebral cortex
  • auditory center the part of the brain (in a fold of the cerebral cortex of the temporal lobe on both sides of the brain) that receives impulses from the ear by way of the auditory nerve
  • substantia grisea greyish nervous tissue containing cell bodies as well as fibers; forms the cerebral cortex consisting of unmyelinated neurons
  • paleencephalon the more primitive parts of the brain phylogenetically; most structures other than the cerebral cortex
  • lateral geniculate body a neural structure that serves as a processing station on the way from the retina to the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex
  • frontal lobe that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying directly behind the forehead
  • golgi's cell a neuron in the cerebral cortex with short dendrites and with either a long axon or a short axon that ramifies in the grey matter
