Detailed explanation-1: -White matter is found in the deeper tissues of the brain (subcortical). It contains nerve fibers (axons), which are extensions of nerve cells (neurons). Many of these nerve fibers are surrounded by a type of sheath or covering called myelin. Myelin gives the white matter its color.
Detailed explanation-2: -White matter refers to areas of the central nervous system (CNS) that are mainly made up of myelinated axons, also called tracts.
Detailed explanation-3: -tracts is the name given to bundles of myelinated axons in the central nervous system (CNS).
Detailed explanation-4: -The white matter of your brain and spinal cord is composed of bundles of axons. These axons are coated with myelin, a mixture of proteins and lipids, that helps conduct nerve signals and protect the axons.
