function of gray matter
neural integration
function of white matter (cerebral)
transmit signals from 1 region to another
3 types of tracts
1. projection- extend vertically btwn higher & lower brain & spinal cord centers
2. commissural tracts- cross form one cerebral hemisphere to another
3. association- connect diff regions within same cerebral hemisphere
