  2. Central nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_nervous_system

    The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting primarily of the brain, spinal cord and retina.The CNS is so named because the brain integrates the received information and coordinates and influences the activity of all parts of the bodies of bilaterally symmetric and triploblastic animals—that is, all multicellular animals except sponges and diploblasts.

  3. Neuraxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuraxis

    The mammalian nervous system is arranged with the neural tube running along an anterior to posterior axis, from nose to tail for a four-legged animal like a dog. Humans, as two-legged animals, have a bend in the neuraxis between the brain stem and the diencephalon , along with a bend in the neck, so that the eyes and the face are oriented forward.

  4. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    The human brain is the central organ of the nervous system, and with the spinal cord, comprises the central nervous system. It consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. The brain controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous system ...

  5. Cingulum (brain) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cingulum_(brain)

    This, in addition to the fact that the cingulum is a central structure in learning to correct mistakes, indicates that the cingulum is involved in appraisal of pain and reinforcement of behavior that reduces it. [3] Cingulotomy, the surgical severing of the anterior cingulum, is a form of psychosurgery used to treat depression and OCD.

  6. Glymphatic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glymphatic_system

    The glymphatic system, glymphatic clearance pathway or paravascular system is an organ system for metabolic waste removal in the central nervous system (CNS) of ...

  7. Neural oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_oscillation

    Neural oscillations are observed throughout the central nervous system at all levels, and include spike trains, local field potentials and large-scale oscillations which can be measured by electroencephalography (EEG). In general, oscillations can be characterized by their frequency, amplitude and phase.

  8. Neuroscience of rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_rhythm

    The neuroscience of rhythm refers to the various forms of rhythm generated by the central nervous system (CNS). Nerve cells, also known as neurons in the human brain are capable of firing in specific patterns which cause oscillations. The brain possesses many different types of oscillators with different periods.

  9. Neural tissue engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_tissue_engineering

    There are two parts of the nervous system: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). General body functions are supervised by the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord. The PNS delivers motor signals to control body activities and receives sensory data from the CNS.
