Corona radiata, the Glossary

Index Corona radiata

In neuroanatomy, the corona radiata is a white matter sheet that continues inferiorly as the internal capsule and superiorly as the centrum semiovale.[1]

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber (or nerve fibre: see spelling differences) is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, in vertebrates, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the nerve cell body.

See Corona radiata and Axon

Brainstem

The brainstem (or brain stem) is the stalk-like part of the brain that connects the forebrain (the cerebrum and diencephalon) with the spinal cord.

See Corona radiata and Brainstem

Centrum semiovale

In neuroanatomy, the centrum semiovale, semioval center or centrum ovale is the central area of white matter found underneath the cerebral cortex. Corona radiata and centrum semiovale are cerebral white matter.

See Corona radiata and Centrum semiovale

Cerebral cortex

The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals.

See Corona radiata and Cerebral cortex

Corticobulbar tract

In neuroanatomy, the corticobulbar (or corticonuclear) tract is a two-neuron white matter motor pathway connecting the motor cortex in the cerebral cortex to the medullary pyramids, which are part of the brainstem's medulla oblongata (also called "bulbar") region, and are primarily involved in carrying the motor function of the non-oculomotor cranial nerves.

Corticopontine fibers

Corticopontine fibers are projections from the cerebral cortex to the pontine nuclei of the ventral pons. Corona radiata and Corticopontine fibers are cerebral white matter.

See Corona radiata and Corticopontine fibers

Corticospinal tract

The corticospinal tract is a white matter motor pathway starting at the cerebral cortex that terminates on lower motor neurons and interneurons in the spinal cord, controlling movements of the limbs and trunk.

Google Books

Google Books (previously known as Google Book Search, Google Print, and by its code-name Project Ocean) is a service from Google that searches the full text of books and magazines that Google has scanned, converted to text using optical character recognition (OCR), and stored in its digital database.

See Corona radiata and Google Books

Internal capsule

The internal capsule is a white matter structure situated in the inferomedial part of each cerebral hemisphere of the brain.

See Corona radiata and Internal capsule

Leukoencephalopathy

Leukoencephalopathy (leukodystrophy-like diseases) is a term that describes all of the brain white matter diseases, whether their molecular cause is known or unknown.

See Corona radiata and Leukoencephalopathy

Multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged.

See Corona radiata and Multiple sclerosis

Neuroanatomy

Neuroanatomy is the study of the structure and organization of the nervous system.

See Corona radiata and Neuroanatomy

Normal pressure hydrocephalus

Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), also called malresorptive hydrocephalus, is a form of communicating hydrocephalus in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the ventricles, leading to normal or slightly elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure.

See Corona radiata and Normal pressure hydrocephalus

Projection fiber

The projection fibers consist of efferent and afferent fibers uniting the cortex with the lower parts of the brain and with the spinal cord. Corona radiata and projection fiber are cerebral white matter.

See Corona radiata and Projection fiber

Somatotopic arrangement

Somatotopy is the point-for-point correspondence of an area of the body to a specific point on the central nervous system.

See Corona radiata and Somatotopic arrangement

White matter

White matter refers to areas of the central nervous system (CNS) that are mainly made up of myelinated axons, also called tracts.
