The white matter in the cerebellum is called 'arbor vitae,' meaning 'Tree of Life.' The name refers to the appearance of this part of the brain as branches on trees extending out. Within the arbor vitae are cerebellar nuclei, which receive excitatory inputs from nerve fibers.

Is cortex of cerebellum part of the gray matter or white matter?
gray matter
Does the cortex of the cerebellum consist of gray or white matter?
Yes. Your cerebellum is actually made up of very tightly folded outer layer of grey matter, and you can find the white matter lies underneath it.
Is the gray matter of the cerebellum superficial or deep to the white matter?
It is superficial to the white matter.
Is thalamic nuclei gray or white matter?
All of the cerebral cortex is gray matter as it composed of neuronal cell bodies which are not insulated with myelin.
Is the brainstem white matter or gray matter?
cortex is gray consisiting of neuron cell bodies.
What clusters of gray matter contain neuron cell bodies and lie within masses of white matter?
cortex
Where are the grey and white matter located in the brain?
To oversimplify it significantly with an analogy, the grey matter is data processing neurons and the white matter is the myelin insulated cabling axons of those neurons that interconnects them to exchange data. Myelin is fatty, giving the white color to the white matter.
How does the arrangement of white matter and gray matter differ in the spinal cord and the brain?
Gray matter in the cerebrum is located in the cerebral cortex and in the deeper basal nuclei, and the white matter lies deep to the neural cortex and around the basal nuclei (Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology, Martini & Nath, 2009, p. 480).The central area of the spinal cord is gray matter, and the outer surface of much of the brain consist of gray matter called cortex. (Anatomy and Physiology, Seeley Stephens Tate, 2008, p. 382)
What does gray matter in the cortex consist of?
cell bodies and unmyelinated fibers
What is found in the gray matter of the cerebral cortex?
You have cell bodies found in the cerebral cortex. That is why it looks gray in colour.
Thin outer layer of gray matter in the brain?
The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of thecerebrum, it is composed of six cell layers of deeply folded and ridged gray matter.
Some of brain structures consist of gray or white matter what are they?
White matter is found in the inside of the brain and the spinal cord. Grey matter is found in most parts of the brain including the cerebellum and brain stem.
