CORPUS CALLOSUM – The large bundle of nerve fibres connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain. CORTISOL – A hormone* produced in the adrenal cortex*. In man, it is produced in greatest amounts early in the morning to prepare the body for daily activities; implicated in the body response to stress. CYTOPLASM – The contents of the cell, a gelly-like substance made of water and proteins*, in which all intracellular organelles* are suspended. CYTOTOXIC – Cell-killing DENDRITE - A tree-like extension of the neurone* cell body. It receives information from other neurones through their axon terminals. DENDRITIC SPINES – Tiny formations on the surface of dendrites, which increase neuronal surface and the capacity to form synapses with adjacent neurones. The number of dendritic spines may change depending on neuronal activity. This is a link between structure and function, essential for neuroplasticity.
