Corticipetal is a term that refers to something that moves towards the cortex (outer layer of an organ) of an organism. It is commonly used in the field of neurophysiology to describe how signals from the sensory organs are transmitted to the brain. Some synonyms of corticipetal include centripetal, inward-bound, and convergent. These terms describe movement or direction towards the center of an organ or system, which is similar to how corticipetal works. Centripetal describes movement towards the center of rotation, such as the force that keeps an object moving towards the center of a spinning top. Inward-bound suggests movement towards the center of an area or location, while convergent means coming together towards a common point.
