- n. A fibrous network of nervous tissue that forms the gray matter of the brain
WordNet 3.0
- n. the complex network of unmyelinated axones, dendrites, and glial branches that form the bulk of the central nervous system's grey matter and in which nerve cell bodies are embedded
Examples
“Ed, back up for a minute - are you saying that as a result of the literacy training, the grey matter in the adult sample increased (you wrote: “had more grey matter in five regions towards the back of their brains”) as in somehow added more neuronal cell bodies, neuropil, etc.,”

“The pink is background neuropil, with the nuclei stained purple.”
“Green, Gal4-driven mCD8-GFP; red, Gal4-driven nuclear β-galactosidase or nuclear RFP; blue, neuropil staining by monoclonal antibody nc82, specific for a neuropil marker.”
“In the fly Drosophila melanogaster, neuronal plasticity of synaptic terminals in the first optic neuropil, or lamina, depends on early visual experience within a critical period after eclosion [1].”
“The neuropil was shrunken in these regions, and the ventricles had correspondingly expanded to fill the space.”
“Vacuolated neurons and spongiform degeneration of the neuropil characteristic of TSE demonstrated by H&E staining and co-localization of PrP”
“CTE is characterized by the build-up of a toxic protein called tau in the form of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and neuropil threads (NTs) throughout the brain.”
“Hence, we show that E2 transiently increases neuronal connectivity by inducing dynamic nascent spines that "sample" the surrounding neuropil and that subsequent NMDAR activity is sufficient to stabilize or "hold" E2-mediated effects.”
