What is responsible for communication between cerebral areas and between the cerebral cortex and lower CNS centers?
The cerebral 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.
What is the meaning of cerebral medulla?
The cerebral medulla is the white matter (myelinated axons) of the cerebrum.
What clusters of gray matter contain neuron cell bodies and lie within masses of white matter?
cortex
What is nuclei deep within the cerebral hemisphere white matter are collectively called?
basal ganglia
Where is white matter not found?
Cerebral Cortex.
Are unmyelinated axons in the cerebral cortex?
The cerebral cortex contains the bodies of neurons which appear grey (grey matter). The layer under the cortex contains myelinated axons (white matter).
What is responsible for communication between cerebral areas and between the cerebral cortex and lower CNS centers?
The cerebral white matter
What does the cerebral cortex cover?
The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebrum, or large brain. It also is where most of the grey matter, i.e. neuronal cell bodies, are found. So you could say that the cerebral cortex covers the white matter of the cerebrum.
What does the cerebral cortex compose of?
The cerebral cortex is composed of neuron cell bodies which lack the fatty white myelin sheaths around the axons and so is sometimes referred to as gray 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.
What is the inner core of the brain composed of?
There are many parts of the cerebrum including layers of tissue. The outer layer is called the cerebral cortex and another layer called Dura mater.
If decorticate posturing is present the lesion is?
Anatomic location of the lesion would be below the cortex, in the white matter or the cerebral hemispheres or upper part of the brain stem.
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)
Is cortex of cerebellum part of the gray matter or white matter?
gray matter
What is the meaning of cerebral medulla?
The cerebral medulla is the white matter (myelinated axons) of the cerebrum.
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.
