Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Brain is composed of many neurons that are present in the gray and white matter. Gray matter is composed of neurons, which has a gray nucleus and the whiter is composed of whitish myelinated nerve fibers called axons. Both are responsible for the processing and conveying information for all parts of the body.
