	Grey matter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grey matter is the major part of the nervous system in which the nerve impulses for all kinds of mental functions are produced and then sent away to be carried to their target organs by white matter.
		The cerebrum and the subcortical nuclei, such as the putamen and the caudate nucleus, are composed of grey matter.
		Not to be confused with dark matter, a concept in theoretical physics.

	GRAY MATTER - Definition
		The portions of the brain and spinal cord which are gray and composed of the main bodies of neurons (called cytons).
		This is in contrast to white matter, which is the portions that are white and composed of the axons and dendrites of neurons.
		In the spinal cord, the gray matter is bordered by the white matter and is shaped like a butterfly when seen in cross-section.

	About gray matter
		White matter is made up of the long filaments that extend from the cell bodies - the "telephone wires" of the neuronal network, transmitting the electrical signals that carry the messages between neurons.
		The volume of gray matter tissue - a measure you will see cited in various reports - is a measure of the density of brain cells in a particular region.
		Gray matter is not the sole arbiter of ability and knowledge, of course.

	Chronic Back Pain May Shrink the Brain
		Also found in the spinal cord, "gray matter" refers to the darker-colored tissue of the brain, which is composed of the bodies of neurons.
		In the brain, the gray matter includes structures such as the cerebral cortex, the thalamus, the basal ganglia, and the outer layers of the cerebellum.
		Gray matter is considered by many to be the "thinking" center of the brain, and is responsible for functions such as memory and information processing.

	Intelligence May Be a Gray and White Matter
		Researchers found major differences in the amount of gray and white matter in the brains of men and women of the same intelligence, suggesting that men and women may derive their intelligence in different ways.
		Gray matter represents information processing centers in the brain, and white matter represents the network or connections between those processing centers.
		In particular, 84% of gray matter regions and 86% of white matter regions involved in women's intelligence were found in their frontal lobes or front portion of the brain compared with 45% and 0% for men, respectively.

	Gray matter damage in the brain of MS patients linked to cognitive, physical deficits
		Using this approach, they were able to show that structures in the brain's deep gray matter of MS patients contained T2 hypointensity compared with normal individuals, suggesting higher-than-normal levels of iron deposits, and confirmed the relationship of T2 hypointensity to MS symptoms.
		The finding concerning gray matter atrophy resulted from the researchers' work with a brain structure called the caudate nucleus, which is an important nerve center for controlling movement and cognitive processing.
		T2 hypointensity in the brain's deep gray matter structures was the only measure that predicted cognitive impairment in these patients, results showed.

	CSIndy: Gray Matter (February 27, 2003)
		Gray, who will begin a four performance stint at TheatreWorks's Dwire Theatre next Thursday, is an artist known the world over for transforming his self-absorption and hypochondria into intense, detailed and routinely hilarious monologues.
		Gray answers questions in short sentences, leading one to ponder what he might have been up to on the other end of the phone.
		Gray's subject matter is deeply personal and perhaps unappealing if judged solely by a cursory description.

	Mapping continued brain growth and gray matter density reduction in dorsal frontal cortex: Inverse relationships during ...
		In this study, we conducted detailed spatial and temporal analyses of growth and gray matter density at the cortical surface of the brain in a group of 35 normally developing children, adolescents, and young adults.
		Notably, maps of the spatial distribution of postadolescent cortical gray matter density reduction are highly consistent with maps of the spatial distribution of postadolescent brain growth, showing an inverse relationship between cortical gray matter density reduction and brain growth primarily in the superior frontal regions that control executive cognitive functioning.
		Overall brain growth is not significant between childhood and adolescence, but close spatial relationships between gray matter density reduction and brain growth are observed in the dorsal parietal and frontal cortex.

		hollie writes "Although MS is traditionally thought of as a white matter disease, a new study in the journal "Brain" adds to the growing body of evidence concerning the importance of gray matter damage in MS.
		The MS subjects lost on average around 3% of their gray matter, compared with 1% for the non-MS subjects.
		That doesn't necessarily mean that there was no white matter tissue loss in the MS group because inflammation in the white matter, with infiltration of cells and fluid, may have compensated for any loss of brain tissue.

	Genetic regional reductions of gray matter may be underlying cause of dyslexia
		PAUL, Minn. — Researchers in Italy have observed significant reductions of gray matter volume in areas of the brain associated with language processing among people with a family history of dyslexia in comparison with controls with no reading problems.
		The brain is made up of gray matter, where the brain cells reside, and white matter, where the nerve tracts that allow connections between different parts of the brain and spinal cord reside.
		Statistically significant gray matter abnormalities were located in many parts of the brain that are important for language functions: the planum temporale, inferior temporale cortex, cerebellar nuclei, the left superior and inferior temporal gyrus, and the right middle temporal gyrus.

	Chronic back pain shrinks 'thinking parts' of the brain, study finds
		In earlier research, Apkarian and colleagues found that back pain sustained for six months or longer is accompanied by abnormal brain chemistry, indicated by chemical changes in the area of the brain known to be important in making emotional assessments, including decision-making and for controlling social behavior.
		It is possible that some of the observed decreased gray matter shown in this study reflects tissue shrinkage without substantial neuronal loss, suggesting that proper treatment would reverse this portion of the decreased brain gray matter, Apkarian said.
		"Given that, by definition, chronic pain is a state of continuous persistent perception with associated negative affect and stress, one mechanistic explanation for the decreased gray matter is overuse atrophy caused by excitotoxic and inflammatory mechanisms," Apkarian said.

	Intelligence In Men And Women Is A Gray And White Matter
		The study shows women having more white matter and men more gray matter related to intellectual skill, revealing that no single neuroanatomical structure determines general intelligence and that different types of brain designs are capable of producing equivalent intellectual performance.
		In general, men have approximately 6.5 times the amount of gray matter related to general intelligence than women, and women have nearly 10 times the amount of white matter related to intelligence than men.
		Gray matter represents information processing centers in the brain, and white matter represents the networking of — or connections between — these processing centers.
