Chronosystem is a term used in Ecological systems Theory that refer to changes in the individual or the environment that occur over time and influence the direction development takes. Chronosytem are the environmental changes that occur over time and have an effect on the child. It also refer to temporal changes in ecological systems producing new conditions that affect development. In Bronfenbrenner's theory, Chronosystem is the temporal dimension : Individiduals, the systems in which they are embedded, and resources all may change over time.

A Chronotopic constraint (also called Chronotopic innateness) is a neural limitation on the developmental timing of events.

Chunking refers to the formation of individual units of information into larger units. This is often used as a means of overcoming short-term memory limitations. Chunking is also defined as a memory process whereby related items are grouped together into more easily remembered "chunks” , for example, a prefix and four digits for a phone number, rather than seven unrelated numbers or grouping together of a mobile/cell phone number by three digits rather than memorizing the 10 or 11 unrelated numbers,

Churning refers to frequent trading, by a broker, of a client's shares of stock for the sole purpose of generating large commissions.

Cilia refer to fine hairs that protrude from the inner and outer hair cells of the auditory system. Bending the cilia of the inner hair cells leads to transduction. Likewsie, Cilia are tiny, hairlike structures lining parts of the respiratory system.

Cingulate gyrus refers to a structure of the limbic system, the medial cortex surrounding the corpus callosum.

- Cingulate motor area (CMA) : Cingulate motor area (CMA ) also known as Cingulate motor cortex are structures of the secondary motor cortex involved in higher order voluntary movement.

- Cingulate motor area (CMA) or cingulate motor cortex : - Cingulate motor area (CMA ) or cingulate motor cortex : Cingulate motor area refer to structures of the secondary motor cortex involved in higher order voluntary movement. Cingulate motor area is also called CMA or Cingulate motor cortex.
