  2. List of map projections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

    Gott, Goldberg and Vanderbei’s double-sided disk map was designed to minimize all six types of map distortions. Not properly "a" map projection because it is on two surfaces instead of one, it consists of two hemispheric equidistant azimuthal projections back-to-back.

  3. 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. Topographic maps can be found in all sensory systems and in many motor systems.

  4. Lateral geniculate nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_geniculate_nucleus

    It is a small, ovoid, ventral projection of the thalamus where the thalamus connects with the optic nerve. There are two LGNs, one on the left and another on the right side of the thalamus. In humans, both LGNs have six layers of neurons (grey matter) alternating with optic fibers (white matter).

  5. Cortical homunculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_homunculus

    A 2-D model of cortical sensory homunculus. A cortical homunculus (from Latin homunculus 'little man, miniature human' [1] [2]) is a distorted representation of the human body, based on a neurological "map" of the areas and portions of the human brain dedicated to processing motor functions, and/ or sensory functions, for different parts of the body.

  6. Cutaneous innervation of the lower limbs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_innervation_of...

    Lower limb. Foot. Cutaneous innervation of the lower limbs is the nerve supply to areas of the skin of the lower limbs (including the feet ) which are supplied by specific cutaneous nerves . Modern texts are in agreement about which areas of the skin are served by which nerves , but there are minor variations in some of the details.

  7. Planar projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_projection

    Planar projections are the subset of 3D graphical projections constructed by linearly mapping points in three-dimensional space to points on a two-dimensional projection plane. The projected point on the plane is chosen such that it is collinear with the corresponding three-dimensional point and the centre of projection .

  8. Dorsal ramus of spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_ramus_of_spinal_nerve

    The dorsal ramus of spinal nerve, posterior ramus of spinal nerve, or posterior primary division is the posterior division of a spinal nerve. The dorsal rami provide motor innervation to the deep (a.k.a. intrinsic or true) muscles of the back, and sensory innervation to the skin of the posterior portion of the head, neck and back. [1]

  9. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic...

    Visualised as rolling on the upper and lower surfaces of the drawing plane, respectively. First-angle projection is as if the object were sitting on the paper and, from the "face" (front) view, it is rolled to the right to show the left side or rolled up to show its bottom. It is standard throughout Europe and Asia (excluding Japan).
