| insular cortex | 1. An oval region of the cerebral cortex overlying the extreme capsule, lateral to the lenticular nucleus, buried in the depth of the fissura lateralis cerebri (sylvian fissure). Synonym: insular area, insular cortex, island of Reil. Synonym: island. 3. Any circumscribed body or patch on the skin. Origin: L. Island (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| olfactory cortex | The olfactory cortex, corresponding to the rostral half of the uncus; receiving its major afferents from the olfactory bulb, it is classified as allocortex. See: cerebral cortex. Synonym: olfactory cortex, piriform area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orbitofrontal cortex | The cerebral cortex covering the basal surface of the frontal lobes. Synonym: fronto-orbital area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| temporal cortex | A lobe of the brain which is located laterally and below the cerebrum. Contains auditory and receptive areas. (27 Sep 1997) |
| tertiary cortex | <anatomy> Mid cortical region of lymph node, area that is particularly depleted of T lymphocytes in thymectomised animals and is referred to as the thymus dependent area. (18 Nov 1997) |
| entorhinal cortex | The cytoarchitecturally well-defined area of multilaminate cerebral cortex on the medial aspect of the parahippocampal gyrus, immediately caudal to the olfactory cortex of the uncus. The entorhinal cortex is the origin of the major neural fibre system afferent to the hippocampus, the so-called perforant pathway. (12 Dec 1998) |
| kidney cortex | The outer part of the substance of the kidney, composed mainly of glomeruli and convoluted tubules. (12 Dec 1998) |
| kidney cortex necrosis | The death of all the functioning renal cells of the kidney cortex with continued viability of the majority of the medullary units. It is due usually to the arterial distribution peculiar to the kidney which makes the renal cortex more susceptible to diminished blood flow. (12 Dec 1998) |
| laminated cortex | Neocortex and allocortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| layers of cerebellar cortex | The thin gray surface layer of the cerebellum, consisting of an outer molecular layer or stratum moleculare, a single layer of Purkinje cells (the ganglionic layer), and an inner granular layer or stratum granulosum. Synonym: cortex cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| layers of 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) |
| frontal cortex | Cortex of the frontal lobe of the cerebral hemisphere, originally, the entire cortical expanse anterior to the central sulcus, including the agranular motor and premotor cortex (Brodmann's areas 4 and 6), the dysgranular cortex (area 8), and the granular frontal (prefrontal) cortex anterior to the latter, now more often refers to the granular frontal (prefrontal) cortex. Synonym: frontal area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lens cortex, crystalline | The portion of the crystalline lens surrounding the nucleus and bound anteriorly by the epithelium and posteriorly by the capsule. It contains lens fibres and amorphous, intercellular substance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fusiform cells of cerebral cortex | Spindle-shaped cell's in the sixth layer of the cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
