| multiform | <biology> Occurring in several or many forms, appearing in different forms at different stages of development. Origin: Gr. Morph = form (18 Nov 1997) |
| cerebral cortex | The outer portion of the brain, consisting of layersof nerve cells and the pathways that connect them. The cerebralcortex is the part of the brain in which thought processes take place.In Alzheimer's disease, nerve cells in the cerebral cortex die. (22 May 1997) |
| granular layers of cerebral cortex | Layers 2 (outer) and 4 (inner) of the cortex cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stellate cells of cerebral cortex | Small star-shaped cell's in the second and fourth layers of the cortex, and large stellate cell's in the deeper part of the third layer in the visual cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |

| fusiform cells of cerebral cortex | Spindle-shaped cell's in the sixth layer of the cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex | The layer of Purkinje cells between the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellar cortex. Synonym: stratum neuronorum piriformium, ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex, layer of piriform neurons, Purkinje's layer, stratum gangliosum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular layer of cerebellar cortex | The deepest of the three layers of the cortex; it contains large numbers of granule cells, the dendrites of which synapse with incoming mossy fibres in cerebellar glomeruli. Thin, unmyelinated axons of granule cells ascend perpendicularly into the molecular layer in which they bifurcate into fibres coursing parallel to the long axis of the cerebellar folia. Parallel fibres form numerous synapses with the dendrites of Purkinje cells, basket cells, and stellate cells. Synonym: stratum granulosum cerebelli, granular layer of cerebellar cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular layer of cerebellar cortex | The outer lamina of the cortex, containing the cell bodies and dendrites of Purkinje cells, the axons of the granule cells, and the cell bodies, dendrites, and axons of basket cells. Synonym: stratum moleculare cerebelli, molecular layer of cerebellar cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral layer of retina | The internal layer of the retina containing the neural elements, as distinguished from the outer leaf of the retina, or pigmented layer. Synonym: pars optica retinae, neural layer of retina, optic part of retina, stratum cerebrale retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal cortex | <anatomy, endocrinology> This is the outer portion of the fattyacids and inhibit inflammation in allergic responses. Mineralocortoids regulate the levels of minerals such as sodium and potassium in the blood. (06 May 1997) |
