yes
The brain is called gray matter because it appears gray in color when seen in a preserved or dissected state. This color comes from the cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons of neurons in the brain.
Gray matter and white matter are essentially the same in the brain and spinal cord. The gray matter is the part of the brain and spinal cord that initiate the firing of neurons and the white matter is basically the mode of transportation for the signal.
Gray matter is what you call the nerve tissue in your brain because the cells are gray in color.
No, gray matter is not the richest in lipid content. White matter in the brain contains a higher lipid content compared to gray matter. Lipids are essential for supporting the structure and function of brain cells.
no the report says normal gray white differentiation
The brain is composed of two sides gray matter and white matter. The white matter is the thinking part of the brain while the gray matter is the doing part. The more you are active the more it increases gray matter.
Yes, all humans have grey matter on the surface of their brain.
The prefix "polio-" means gray matter or gray substance, particularly referring to the gray matter of the brain or spinal cord.
Two types of matter in the brain are gray matter, which contains cell bodies and synapses, and white matter, which contains myelinated axons connecting different parts of the brain. Gray matter is mostly found in the cerebral cortex, while white matter is found deeper in the brain.
The gray-white matter junction in the brain is where the gray matter (composed mainly of neuron cell bodies) transitions into white matter (composed mainly of myelinated nerve fibers). This junction is found throughout the brain, reflecting the boundary between the outer cortex and the inner white matter tracts.
it would be the cortex portion of the brain
Gray matter is a normal part of the brain, not a disease.
