  2. Glide reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_reflection

    A typical example of glide reflection in everyday life would be the track of footprints left in the sand by a person walking on a beach. Frieze group nr. 6 (glide-reflections, translations and rotations) is generated by a glide reflection and a rotation about a point on the line of reflection. It is isomorphic to a semi-direct product of Z and C 2.

  3. Point groups in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_groups_in_two_dimensions

    For each of the types D 1, D 2, and D 4 the distinction between the 3, 4, and 2 wallpaper groups, respectively, is determined by the translation vector associated with each reflection in the group: since isometries are in the same coset regardless of translational components, a reflection and a glide reflection with the same mirror are in the ...

  4. Reflex arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflex_arc

    In a reflex arc, an action potential can bypass the brain for processing and uses dedicated neural pathways for faster processing. When a stimulus (A) is encountered, the signal from that stimulus will travel up the sensory neuron (B, in green) to the spinal column (C).

  5. Euclidean plane isometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane_isometry

    Glide reflection. Glide reflections, denoted by G c,v,w, where c is a point in the plane, v is a unit vector in R 2, and w is non-null a vector perpendicular to v are a combination of a reflection in the line described by c and v, followed by a translation along w. That is, ,, =,, or in other words,

  6. Template:Frieze group notations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Frieze_group...

    *Schönflies's point group notation is extended here as infinite cases of the equivalent dihedral points symmetries § The diagram shows one fundamental domain in yellow, with reflection lines in blue, glide reflection lines in dashed green, translation normals in red, and 2-fold gyration points as small green squares.

  7. Topographic map (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

  8. Outline of neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_neuroscience

    Behavioral neuroscience, also known as biological psychology, biopsychology, or psychobiology, is the application of the principles of biology to the study of mental processes and behavior in human and non-human animals. Neuroethology

  9. Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_asymmetry

    In the mid-19th century scientists first began to make discoveries regarding lateralization of the brain, or differences in anatomy and corresponding function between the brain's two hemispheres. Franz Gall, a German anatomist, was the first to describe what is now known as the Doctrine of Cerebral Localization. Gall believed that, rather than ...
