Difference between Actin and Neocortex

Actin vs. Neocortex

Actin is a family of globular multi-functional proteins that form microfilaments. The neocortex, also called the neopallium and isocortex, is the part of the mammalian brain involved in higher-order brain functions such as sensory perception, cognition, generation of motor commands, spatial reasoning and language.

Similarities between Actin and Neocortex

Actin and Neocortex have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon, Brain, Cell (biology), Coevolution, Myelin, Neuron, Species, Thalamus.

Axon

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

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Coevolution

In biology, coevolution occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution.

Myelin

Myelin is a lipid-rich substance that surrounds the axon of some nerve cells, forming an electrically insulating layer.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Species

In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition.

Thalamus

The thalamus (from Greek θάλαμος, "chamber") is the large mass of gray matter in the dorsal part of the diencephalon of the brain with several functions such as relaying of sensory signals, including motor signals, to the cerebral cortex, and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness.

Actin and Neocortex Comparison

Actin has 388 relations, while Neocortex has 73. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 1.74% = 8 / (388 + 73).
