the white matter is as a white as the name would imply. The boundaries where the gray matter and the white matter come together are known as the “gray matter/white matter interface.” In such areas, there is a significant difference in the density of brain material, which makes them cons...
Phenylketonuria, Brain, White matter, Gray matter, Developmental trajectories, Executive abilitiesPhenylketonuria (PKU) is a recessive disorder characterized by disruption in the metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe). Prior research indicates that individuals with PKU have substantial white matter...
More than 30 years ago, my colleagues and I described this syndrome aswhite matter dementia. In this condition, the dysfunctional white matter is no longer adequately performing as a connector, meaning that the gray matter cannot act together in a seamless and synchronous manner. The brain, in ...
white matter The whitish tissue of the brain and spinal cord in vertebrate animals, made up chiefly of nerve fibers covered in myelin sheaths. Compare gray matter. The American Heritage® Student Science Dictionary, Second Edition. Copyright © 2014 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company...
The team created very high resolution maps of the white-grey matter border across the entire living brain. Credit: MPI CBS Traditionally, neuroscience regards the brain as being made up of two basic tissue types. Billions of neurons make up the gray matter, forming a thin layer on the brain...
MR volume segmentation of gray matter and white matter using manual thresholding: dependence on image brightness. PURPOSE: To describe a quantitative MR imaging segmentation method for determination of the volume of cerebrospinal fluid, gray matter, and white matter in... GJ Harris,PE Barta,LW ...
The mapping of the human brain white matter fiber networks relative to deep subcortical and cortical gray matter requires high spatial resolution which is challenged by the low signal-to-noise ratio. The purpose of this short report was to introduce a whole brain high spatial resolution diffusion ...
Female white matter in the brain is 10 times that of men, while men use the gray matter of the brain is 6.5 times that of women. The gray matter contains the information processing center, the role of the white matter of the information processing centers are joined together to form a ne...
Width of the third ventricle, width of the central sulcus, and attenuation in gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) from the same area of the basal ganglia, centrum semiovale, and high convexity were statistically compared between AMCT and PMCT. Both the width of the third ventricle and...
White matterBrain MRI segmentationThis paper mainly focuses on characterization of different brain tissues such as White and Gray matter (WM and GM) using the relation between Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging parameters. Both Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging ...
