Myelin sheaths in the central nervous system do the same basic job as they do in the peripheral nervous system. They insulate the axons, which are the conducting parts of nerve cells, so that they can carry their signal better. When this protective mechanism is damaged, as in ALD, the nerve cells cannot communicate properly and result in the signs and symptoms of ALD. Unfortunately this genetic disorder not usually caught in its early stages to provide effective treatment.
Grey matter is on the surface of the brain - it is the computing side. White matter is in the cenre of the brain it is the wires that join the computers.
No, the white matter in brain tissue is the area of brain tissue that contains the nerve fibre tracts with their covering of myelin which appears white.
The white matter is the area of the brain where signals travel to other parts of the brain. It is located in the subcortical area.
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.
There are two tissues that makes up the brain and the spinal cord. These are called the grey matter and the white matter. Grey matter is what covers about a half an inch of the brain. White matter is what makes up everything else of the brain.
Inside a brain is: grey matter (the bodies of the brain cells) and white matter (the fat covered projections of the brain cells).

The corpus callosum is the largest white matter structure in the brain.
It is located in the brain,in the cerebrum
The myelin sheaths found on axons in the brain ("myelinated axons") gives most brain tissue a white color (= "white matter"). The grey, unmyelinated sell bodies, or "soma," of these axons reside in areas of the brain commonly referred to as "grey matter." Ben
