- See also changes related to Nervous system, or pages that link to Nervous system or to this page or whose text contains "Nervous system".
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
- Peptide hormone [r]: A class of chemical messengers, secreted into the blood from endocrine cells, that bind to specific receptors expressed on the plasma membrane of target cells. [e]
- Neurochemistry [r]: A subfield of biology that focuses on the chemical makeup of the brain with a particular emphasis on the metabolism of neuroactive compounds like neurotransmitters. [e]
- Neurophysiology [r]: The branch of physiology that studies the functions of the nervous system. [e]
- Neurology [r]: The medical specialty concerned with evaluating the nervous system and the other system that it affects, and the treatment of nervous system disorders. [e]
- Neuropsychopharmacology [r]: The study of the fundamental neuroscientific principles behind the action of drugs on brain and cognition; a subset of neuropharmacology, the action of drugs on all parts of the nervous system [e]
- Cell differentiation [r]: The process by which cells become structurally and functionally specialized. [e]
- Biological signalling [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Hemispheric lateralization [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Interspike Interval Histogram [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Intermolecular forces [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Shaker gene [r]: Add brief definition or description
