Definition of white matter in English English dictionary

A region of the central nervous system containing myelinated nerve fibres and no dendrites

axons of neurons; long arms of nerve cells

whitish nerve tissue of the brain and spinal cord, consisting chiefly of myelinated nerve fibers

whitish nervous tissue of the CNS consisting of neurons and their myelin sheaths

The part of the nervous system consisting of myelinated fiber tracts

Regions made up predominantly of axons with pearly white myelin covering

nerve fibers that are the site of MS lesions

Parts of the brain, notably the cortex (shell) of the cerebral hemispheres, composed of nerve cells "insulated" with a coating of myelin

is central nervous tissue that is largely composed of myelinated axons These fibers are organized into fasciculi, capsules, peduncles and tracts

Regions of the central nervous system containing few neuronal cell bodies and many myelinated axons The myelin sheaths are opaque compared to surrounding regions containing mostly neuronal cell bodies (gray matter)

nerve fibers that are the site of MS lesions and underlie the gray matter of the brain and spinal cord
