Myelin
Vettige substantie dat om de axon van sommige neuronen heen zit die de overdracht versneld
Moleculen die optreden als gatekeeper bij celmembraan
Charged Sodium(Na+) en potassium(K+) ionen
Function of region is determined by?
Its inputs en outputs. Omdat bv het gerewired is op een bepaalde manier in je hersenen
Gray matter
Matter consisting primarily of neural cell bodies
White matter
Tissue of the nervous system consisting primarly of axons and support cells
Glia
Support cells of the nervous system involved in tissue repair and in the formation of meyelin
Gray matter brain parts
cerebral cortex, subcortex
Association tracts
White matter that project between different cortical regions within the same hemisphere
Commissures
White matter that project between different cortival regions in differend hemispheres. The most important commissure being the corpus callosum
Projection tracts
White matter thta project between cortical en subcortical structures
Ventricles
Hollow chambers of the brain that contain cerebrospinal fluid
Function cerebrospinal fluid CSF
carries waste metabolites, transfers some messenger signals end provides a protective cushion for the brain

How is the central nervous system organized?
Hierarchically. The upper levvels of the hierachy corresponding to the upper branches are the newest structures from an evolutionary perspective
Cerebral cortex consists of?
Two folded sheets of gray matter
Gyri
The raised folds of the cortex
Sulci
The buried grooves of the cortex
