The small butterfly shaped structure of spinal cord (SC) gray matter (GM) is challenging to image and to delineate from its surrounding white matter (WM). Segmenting GM is up to a point a trade-off between accuracy and precision. We propose a new pipeline for GM-WM magnetic resonance (M...
The spinal cord is a long structure, conslstmg of white and grey matter, that not only serves to provide a neural connection between the brain and the body, but also contains neural circuits that are organized segmentally and that are responsive to central and peripheral sensory input. Thus ...
Grey matter butterflies in spinal cord cross-sections.The spinal cord is composed of a peripheral region of “white matter” that contains the many axons of neurons as they enter, leave, ascend and descend the spinal cord.The central region of the spinal cord, surrounding the central ...

To answer the question "In the spinal cord, white matter is...", we will analyze the structure of the spinal cord and the arrangement of white and gray matter.1. Understanding the Structure of the Spinal Cord: - The spinal c
White matter surrounds the gray matter and is made of axons. It contains pathways that connect the brain with the rest of the body. Keep learning about the white and grey matter of the spinal cord using our spinal cord diagram labeling exercises and quizzes! Solidify your knowledge about ...
Other portions of the spinal cord include white matter made up of nerve fibers (axons) surrounding a vaguely butterfly-shaped core of grey matter. The “body” of the vertebra is the large, round portion of bone in the front side of the spine, while the intervertebral disk is the layer ...

Spinal cord MRI suggests that grey matter atrophy in the thoracic cord is an important source of disability in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Regina Schlaeger and colleagues imaged multiple levels of the cervical and thoracic spinal cords of patients with relapsing or progressive MS....
Grey and White Matter: Grey matter and white matter are two different types of nervous matter found in the brain and spinal cord. Grey matter looks grey because of the collection of cell bodies and unmyelinated axons. White matter appears white because ...
