You have cell bodies found in the cerebral cortex. That is why it looks gray in colour.

Thin layer of gray matter on surface of cerebrum?
Cerebral Cortex
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.
The complex network of tiny islands of gray matter within the brain that activates the cerebral cortex to a state of wakefulness is the?
Reticular formation
The islands of gray matter inside the hemisphere of the cerebrum are known as the cerebral cortex?
The few islands of gray matter within the interior of the cerebrum are made up of neuron cell bodies and unmyelinated axons. These areas of gray matter act as the central processing unit of the brain. Many things can affect this gray matter, such as, smoking, child abuse, alcoholism, and drugs.
What does the cerebral cortex look like?
== == In short, the cerebral cortex is the outer and largest part of the brain, that covers its smaller parts and is usually easily visible on brain illustrations. It contains gray matter (neurons) responsible for the "higher" functions of thinking and information processing. There's also a lot of information about the cerebral cortex on http://www.answers.com/cerebral+cortex
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.
Thin layer of gray matter on surface of cerebrum?
Cerebral Cortex
What forms the outer layer of the cerebral cortex?
The cerebral cortex is actually the covering layer. It is a thin layer of tissue that covers the part of the brain called the cerebrum.
What is the gray matter on the surface of the brain called?
Grey matter is distributed at the surface of the cerebral hemispheres (cerebral cortex) and of the cerebellum (cerebellar cortex), as well as in the depths of the cerebrum (thalamus; hypothalamus; subthalamus, basal ganglia - putamen, globus pallidus, nucleus accumbens; septal nuclei), cerebellar (deep cerebellar nuclei - dentate nucleus, globose nucleus, emboliform nucleus, fastigial nucleus), brainstem (substantia nigra, red nucleus, olivary nuclei, cranial nerve nuclei) and spinal grey matter (anterior horn, lateral horn, posterior horn).
What is the outer cortex of the brain that contains the cell bodies of cerebral neurons?
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.
Where are receptors for somatic sensations located?
cerebrum's outer layer of gray matter, the cerebral cortex.
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.
What is the thin superficial layer of gray matter that compromises 40 percent of the brain's mass?
Cerebral cortex.
What is the gray part of the cerebrum?
The cerebral cortex
What are two types of matter that exist in the brain?
A thin layer of gray matter called the cerebral cortex comprises the outer portion of the cerebrum.
Significance of convolutions?
it make the cerebral cortex gray.
