Gray matter is distributed at the surface of the Cerebral Hemisphere s ( Cerebral Cortex ) and of the Cerebellum ( Cerebellar Cortex ), as well as in the depth of the cerebral ( Thalamus ; Hypothalamus ; Subthalamus , Basal Ganglia - Putamen , Globus Pallidus , Nucleus Accumbens ; Septal Nuclei ), cerebellar (deep cerebellar nuclei - Dentate Nucleus , Globose Nucleus , Emboliform Nucleus , Fastigial Nucleus ), Brainstem ( Substantia Nigra , Red Nucleus , Olivary Nuclei , Cranial Nerve Nuclei ) and Spinal White Matter ( Anterior Horn , Lateral Horn , Posterior Horn ). Gray matter structures (cortex, deep nuclei) process information originating in the Sensory Organs or in other gray matter regions. This information is conveyed via specialized nerve cell extensions (long Axons ), which form the bulk of the cerebral, cerebellar, and spinal White Matter . NOTES SEE ALSO |
