A neural substrate is a term used in neuroscience to indicate the part of the central nervous system (i.e., brain and spinal cord) that underlies a specific behavior, cognitive process, or psychological state.[1][2] Neural is an adjective relating to "a nerve or the nervous system",[3] while a substrate is an "underlying substance or layer".[4]
Some examples are the neural substrates of language acquisition,[5] memory,[6] prediction and reward,[7] pleasure, facial recognition,[8] envisioning the future,[9] intentional empathy,[10] religious experience,[11] spontaneous musical performance,[12] and anxiety.[13]
