Does the hippocampus count as gray or white matter?
grey matter
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.
Where is the basal ganglia located?
Both sides, in the lower middle part of the brain.
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.
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".

The grey matter on a spinal cord is on the spinal roots.
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
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.
What are the three types of tissues in the brain?
grey matter, white matter and neuraglia
