Examples of grey matter

grey matter
The greymatter surface of the brain can appear pink.
The deficits in medial temporal lobe greymatter are easy to relate to the established neuropathological features of the condition.
Volumetric analysis was used to measure greymatter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid.
There were no significant correlations between whole brain, white and greymatter volume and degree of insight.
This abnormal brain growth appears to be due primarily to excessive enlargement cerebral white matter and cerebral greymatter.
The volume of greymatter was reduced in the right inferior parietal lobule and the left middle, inferior and precentral gyri.
Both white matter and greymatter volumes were greater on the left compared to the right for faster learners.
In most cases, the inflammatory foci were confined to greymatter, there being minimal involvement of white matter and paraventricular regions.
Thus, extensive demyelinated greymatter lesions were generated.
On this view, greymatter density in the posterior supramarginal parietal cortex is a neural marker for vocabulary acquisition regardless of age and language.
By the time of the third scan, the expansion in greymatter had reduced suggesting that training effects are transient unless a skill is practised.
Unmyelinated axons (and dendrites) within the greymatter.
They also show increased greymatter density in two left hemisphere regions (middle temporal and superior temporal gyrus).
Turning now to possible substantive interpretations of these results, initially considering the deficits in greymatter volume, several aspects stand out.
In the last few years demyelinated lesions of cortex and spinal cord greymatter have come into focus.
