grey matter- the centre area of the spinal cord that contains cell bodies, their axons and their dendrites.
white matter- the outer layer of the spinal cord that contains only myelin coated axons.

How do you account for difference grey matter white matter?
one's grey and one's white.....they're both matter though...
Is there a difference between grey mice and brown and white mice?
All of the different colours seem to be the difference between the grey, white and brown mice...
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.
Does the hippocampus count as gray or white matter?
grey matter
What kind of matter do you have in your spinal cord?
grey and white. White matter of the spinal cord is composed of myelinated and unmyelinated fibers that allow communication between different parts of the spinal cord and between the cord and brain. Gray matter in the spinal cord looks like the letter H or a butterfly.
Is the pyramids grey or white matter?
the pyramids are made of brains; so grey matter
Would you expect synapses to occur in grey matter or in white matter?
Synapses are seen more in grey matter because dendrites meet with axonites in grey matter and dendrite is a part of grey matter.
Where is White matter in the brain?
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.
White matter is found in?
In your brain surrounded by grey matter
How do grey and white matter get there color?
From their content. Grey matter mainly contains cell bodies while white contains mainly axons
How do cells communicate in the brain between white matter and grey matter?
white matter is the area of the brain that contains neurons having what is called a myelin sheath. This sheath is a fatty coating between neuronal connections that makes communication between them much faster and more efficient. This is generally associated with well learned or heavily used connections. For example, your mother's name will certainly have this myelin sheath whereas that person you just met five minutes ago will take continued reinforcement to remember. grey matter is the brain's remaining area for potential growth and connections. white and grey areas are not separate entities that communicate per se. think of grey matter as undeveloped rural land with few or no roads, and white matter as a city with many venues of communication and a high density of information. grey matter is the brain's potential. thus the saying "use your grey matter".
What makes brain matter white?
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
