grey substance
Grey substance, also known as grey matter, generally refers to areas of the central nervous system made up of neuronal cell bodies, neuropil (dendrites and unmyelinated axons), glial cells (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes), synapses, and capillaries. It is distinguished from white matter, which consists primarily of myelinated axon tracts. The term grey substance is often used when discussing the brain and spinal cord structure, where the grey matter serves as the primary component of the central nervous system responsible for processing information, including sensory perception, motor control, self-control, decision-making, and emotional responses.
