This phenomenon might indicate issues such as demyelination, inflammation, or other structural changes in the brain. The term is not commonly used in clinical settings, so its meaning may vary depending on context; it’s important to consult medical literature or professionals for precise interpretations.


Grey matters DNA code?

The grey matter in the brain does not have its unique DNA code. Rather, the DNA within all cells in our body, including those within the grey matter, is the same. The grey matter primarily consists of nerve cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses that help process information in the brain.
