  2. White matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_matter

    White matter is composed of bundles, which connect various grey matter areas (the locations of nerve cell bodies) of the brain to each other, and carry nerve impulses between neurons. Myelin acts as an insulator, which allows electrical signals to jump , rather than coursing through the axon, increasing the speed of transmission of all nerve ...

    White matter fibre dissection is nowadays considered as a valuable tool to enhance our knowledge about brain connectivity, [5] [9] [10] [1] and has been used to validate tractographic results and vice versa with good consistency between the two techniques, [11] but also for neurosurgical training and neuroanatomical teaching.

  8. Grey matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_matter

    Grey matter is distinguished from white matter in that it contains numerous cell bodies and relatively few myelinated axons, while white matter contains relatively few cell bodies and is composed chiefly of long-range myelinated axons. [1] The colour difference arises mainly from the whiteness of myelin. In living tissue, grey matter actually ...

  9. Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukoencephalopathy_with...

    The gray matter remains normal in all characteristics while the white matter changes texture, becoming soft and gelatinous. Rarefaction of the white matter is seen through light microscopy and the small number of axons and U-fibers that were affected can also be seen. Numerous small cavities in the white matter are also apparent.
