| Aug 29, 2016 at 9:40 | comment | added | WYSIWYG | @user5054 the cerebral cortex is composed of the gray matter; so thickness would be the same. However, cortex is not equivalent to gray matter. In the spinal cord, the organization is reversed (outer part is white matter). The term, "gray matter", IMO has relatively little significance nowadays because we can see the anatomy of the brain at a much higher resolution. So, while the organization does matter, the terms - gray/white matter per se convey little information. | |
