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).

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.
Different parts of the eye and they function?
All the parts of the eye (retina, vitreous, iris, optic nerve, lens, cornea, and pupil) work together by transforming light rays into a signal that your brain can read so that you can have an image/picture in your mind, in other words, you can see.

Grey matter is the neural cells of the brain. White matter is the axon fat which surrounds the nerves in sheaths for protection. Grey matter can also be spelt Gray matter and the name comes from the simple appearance and the colour of the brain's lobes.
What is the part of the brain composed of gray matter that controls emotion called?
Frontal lobe
What is gray matter?
Gray matter and white matter are essentially the same in the brain and spinal cord. The gray matter is the part of the brain and spinal cord that initiate the firing of neurons and the white matter is basically the mode of transportation for the signal.
The projections of gray matter toward the outer surface of the spinal cord are called?
Horns
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)
How do gyri and sulci increase in surface area relates to improved brain function?
Because all the folds and creases increases the surface area of the brain, allowing more brain cells to be packed inside the limited space of the skull.
What is the dumbbell shaped mass of gray matter that revieves sensory inpute called?
A guys brain
What is gray matter where is it found?
Gray matter is what you call the nerve tissue in your brain because the cells are gray in color.
What part of the brain is gray on one side and pink on the other?
The brain is gray.On the outside, the brain looks pink. The color of a living brain appears pink because gray matter assumes a grayish-pinkish color.The brain is composed of white matter and gray matter. Nissl bodies of the brain are stained darkly, which is where the word "gray" comes from. Gray matter is found mostly on the outer surface of the brain.White matter, on the other hand, is buried deep inside the brain. It's white because it contains a bunch of axons that are covered with white myelin.
Is gray matter in brain soft?
yes
