The gray matter of the cerebrum is composed of neuron cell bodies and makes up both the ________ and the ________.

A) cortex; deep cerebral nuclei
B) cortex; white matter
C) cerebral tracts; cortex

Gray Matter

A part of the brain and spinal cord made primarily of neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons, playing a key role in processing and regulating neural signals.

Cortex

The outer layer of an organ or structure, such as the cerebral cortex of the brain, which is involved in high-level functions including memory, attention, perception, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.

Deep Cerebral Nuclei

Clusters of neurons in the deep regions of the cerebrum involved in regulating voluntary movement and learning.
