    Grey Matter: The dark tissue of the brain and spinal cord, consisting mainly of nerve cell bodies and branching dendrites.
    White Matter: The paler tissue of the brain and spinal cord, which consists of nerve fibres with myelinated axons.

    A great bite-sized chunk of information. Just what I needed, as a new A&P student! If it's too long or slow for you, just change the playback speed of course. It was perfect for me & my ADHD.

    Thank you for this. I have severe cervical stenosis and was just given my first MRI four years later and now found White matter brain disease. I had the MRI because the symptoms were very much like MS and I was growing concerned but there were no MS lesions. This helped me understand so much more what is occurring.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:00 🧠 Gray matter holds neuron somas, and white matter has myelinated axons.
    01:04 📚 Spinal cord's gray matter forms an "H," with white matter surrounding it.
    03:03 🧠 Brain's gray matter is the cortex, while white matter is deep within.
    04:57 🧠 Brain's deep gray matter is nuclei, and axon groups are tracts.
    05:55 🧠 Central nervous system handles cognition, emotion, and consciousness, with a key role for the cerebral cortex.

    If this was a good video, it would explain first what a nerve cell looks like. That the "soma" is the body of the cell and the "axon" is like a cable to transfer impulses from cell to cell.. Then gray and white matter would make more sense immediately.

    • @marklyne996

    • @dannichols6261
      @dannichols6261 6 лет назад +1

      I can't answer exactly, but it might be helpful to understand that the white matter is axons (signal conveying 'cables') that are running UP & DOWN in the spinal cord, conveying both motor and sensory information/signals, and the grey matter is the cell bodies (soma) & dendrites (inputs to those soma) which interface to some of those axons .
