The one that is.
You can't ask us about "the following" without providing "the following" and expect to get an answer. Perhaps you should do your own homework. This applies quadruply if you're a medical student, because if you can't answer this sort of question yourself I actively want you to flunk out so there's never any chance you'll be acting as a medical caregiver for me or anyone I care about.

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".
