The brain contains both gray matter and white matter. The gray matter is made up up of the neurons that have non-myelinated axons. The white matter is made up of neurons that have myleniated axons. The myelin sheath is white. The primary thinking, perceiving and cognitive functions of th...
Gray and White matter changes of the Brain for Medical DiagnosisMredhula.LM A Dorairangaswamy
White matter provides connections between the different parts of the brain. The brain is made up of a mixture of grey matter and white matter. White matter is found in the deeper tissues known as the subcortical area.1 If you think of the brain as a computer system, thegray matteris the...
In the brain, the cells are gathered in the surface ofthe brain, which looks darker, called the gray matter of the brain, while thenerve fibers are gathered inside the brain and look pale, called white matter. Brain white matter diseaseis a structural change in the brain, characterized by ...

The new method promises many further insights into the organization of the interface between white and gray matter. Evgeniya Kirilina adds, "We hope the method can be used to increase our understanding ofbraindevelopment as well as pathological conditions involving the superficial white matter."...
BACKGROUND: There is limited and inconclusive evidence that space environment, especially microgravity condition, may affect microstructure of human brain. This experiment hypothesized that there would be modifications in gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) of the brain due to microgravity. METHOD...
Gray MatterStandard DeviationAutomated segmentation of white matter (WM) and gray matter (GM) is a very important task for detecting multiple diseases. The paper proposed a simple method for WM and GM extraction form magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain. The proposed methods based on ...
But the other half of the brain—the white matter—is often overlooked. White matter lies below the cortex and also deeper in the brain. Wherever it is found,white matterconnects neurons within the gray matter to each other. I am aprofessor of neurology and psychiatryand the director of the...
White Matter Fiber Tracts The primary function of the brain's white matter is to provide a pathway for connecting the different areas of thebrain. Should this brain matter become damaged, the brain can rewire itself and establish new nerve connections between gray and white matter. White matter ...
