Grey matter consists of neuron cell bodies, crucial for processing information in the brain. White matter contains myelinated axons, facilitating communication between different brain regions.
anisotropy, are important to predict spinal cord damage. The objective of this research was to characterize the mechanical properties of spinal cord grey and white matter tissue in confined compression. Spinal cords (n = 12) were harvested immediately following euthanasia from Yorkshire and Yucatan ...
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 of the collection of axo...

Gray vs. White Matter | Location, Differences & Function from Chapter 17 / Lesson 10 118K Understand the difference between gray and white matter. Know the structure and function of white matter in the brain and spinal cord, and learn the reason fo...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease in which demyelinated lesions are present both in the grey (GM) and white matter (WM) of the central nervous system. MS presents as a relapsing remitting (RRMS) or progressive disease course. Demyelinated axons can be remyelinated...
reduced FA in the CST may be specific to BN and interpreted in terms of the physiological effects of binge eating and purging. The CST is a descending pathway that connects the cerebral cortex with the spinal cord and is involved in voluntary or skilled movements. Nerves within the CST suppor...
Changes in the DTI-based measures of fractional anisotropy (FA) and the associated mean diffusivity (MD) are thus interpreted as markers or confirmation of changes to white matter health (e.g., Beaulieu, 2002; Arfanakis et al., 2002; Inglese et al., 2005; Bazarian et al., 2007). ...
The aim of this study was to obtain information on the axonal diameters of cortico-cortical fibres in the human brain, connecting distant regions of the same hemisphere via the white matter. Samples for electron microscopy were taken from the region of the superior longitudinal fascicle and from ...
