The 12 pages that link to Gray matter, each with the reason it gives.

• Central nervous systemRelated: Its concentration of cell bodies and synapses marks many central nervous system processing regions.

• MyelinCompared with: Its lower myelin content contrasts with the heavily myelinated axons that dominate white matter.

• Spinal cordBroader topic: Its butterfly-shaped regions contain many of the cord's local processing circuits.

• Cerebral cortexRelated: The cortex appears gray because it contains dense neuronal bodies and local connections.

• Reflex arcRelated: Spinal reflex connections are commonly organized within gray matter.

• White matterCompared with: Its cell-body-rich organization contrasts with the myelinated axon bundles dominant in white matter.

• NeuroanatomyRelated: Its distribution helps distinguish processing regions from major fiber pathways.

• NeocortexRelated: The neocortical sheet is gray matter, densely packed with cell bodies and synapses.

• Nervous tissueRelated: Gray matter concentrates many sites of neuronal processing.

• Neural pathwayRelated: Pathways often begin, end, or exchange signals in gray matter.

• Brain (anatomy)Related: Its dense local circuits support much of the brain’s information processing.

• Ganglia (anatomy)Compared with: Ganglia resemble gray matter in cellular makeup but are located outside the central nervous system.
