  2. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_neuro...

    Image of the human brain showing sulci, gyri, and fundi shown in a Coronal section. Specific terms are used to represent the gross anatomy of the brain: A gyrus is an outward folding of the brain, for example the precentral gyrus. A sulcus is an inward fold, or valley in the brain's surface - for example the central sulcus. Additional terms ...

  3. Neuroanatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroanatomy

    Pictured here is a cross-section showing the gross anatomy of the human brain. Neuroanatomy is the study of the structure and organization of the nervous system. In contrast to animals with radial symmetry, whose nervous system consists of a distributed network of cells, animals with bilateral symmetry have segregated, defined nervous systems.

  4. Brodmann area - Wikipedia

    68596. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] A Brodmann area is a region of the cerebral cortex, in the human or other [citation needed] primate brain, defined by its cytoarchitecture, or histological structure and organization of cells. The concept was first introduced by the German anatomist Korbinian Brodmann in the early 20th ...

  5. Anatomical plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_plane

    Anatomical plane. An anatomical plane is a hypothetical plane used to transect the body, in order to describe the location of structures or the direction of movements. In human and non-human anatomy, three principal planes are used: The sagittal plane or lateral plane (longitudinal, anteroposterior) is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture.

    Trochlear nerve (cranial nerve 4) – eye rotation. Trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve 5) – sensation from the face and certain motor functions such as biting and chewing. Abducens nerve (cranial nerve 6) – certain eye rotation. Facial nerve (cranial nerve 7) – facial expression and taste sensations from the tongue.

  7. Wavefront - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavefront

    Wavefront. In physics, the wavefront of a time-varying wave field is the set (locus) of all points having the same phase. [1] The term is generally meaningful only for fields that, at each point, vary sinusoidally in time with a single temporal frequency (otherwise the phase is not well defined). Wavefronts usually move with time.

  8. Hippocampus anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus_anatomy

    Hippocampus anatomy describes the physical aspects and properties of the hippocampus, a neural structure in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. It has a distinctive, curved shape that has been likened to the sea-horse monster of Greek mythology and the ram's horns of Amun in Egyptian mythology. This general layout holds across the full range ...

  9. Topographic map (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_map_(neuroanatomy)

    Topographic map (neuroanatomy) In neuroanatomy, topographic map is the ordered projection of a sensory surface (like the retina or the skin) or an effector system (like the musculature) to one or more structures of the central nervous system. Topographic maps can be found in all sensory systems and in many motor systems.
