gray matter represents information processing centers in the brain, and white matter represents the networking of—or connections between—these processing centers.
脑灰质代表大脑里的信息处理中心,脑白质代表这些处理中心间的协同与联系。
but the problem with this research, hoffman said, is that 「i don「t know how much one can infer from white matter volume and sulcal anatomy.
“但这项研究的问题在于」,霍夫曼说:「我不知道我们是否能从白质和沟回解剖结构推出更多的东西。
and poor quality of the brain」s white matter indicates poor, inefficient communication between brain cells.
而大脑白色物质内的不健康意味着脑细胞之间交流的欠缺、不良。
the tests revealed how white matter pathways carry information from one center of the brain to another, and how these conveyances actually signal faster in smarter people.
测试可以显示出大脑的各个部分通过连接组织传递信息的状况,观测的结果显示,聪明人的脑部信息传递速度比常人更快。
this is the white matter across a whole brain. in this picture, the colours don't indicate connection speed –they merely allow the connections to be distinguished from each other.
图中是贯穿整个大脑的白质,颜色并不代表连接的速度——他们仅仅是对相邻的连接加以区别。
the study, and other work u of u researchers are doing using diffusion tensor imaging (measures microstructure of white matter that connects brain regions), reveals important information about autism.
犹他大学的这项研究以及其他正在进行的研究工作,都使用扩散张量成像技术(测量连接大脑不同区域的白质的微结构)来显现自闭癥患者大脑结构的重要信息。
“the auditory area of her brain started taking over the somatosensory area, 」 says ro, who used diffusion tensor imaging, which focuses on the brain’s white matter connections, to spot the change.
罗使用磁共振扩散张量成像,试图发现女教授脑白质连接区的变化,他说:「她大脑躯体感觉区的功能正在被听觉区接管。」
gray matter represents information processing centers in the brain, and white matter links the centers together.
灰质包含了大脑中的信息处理中心而白质将这些中心连接起来。
she reports in her recent study a marked difference in the white matter of the binge drinkers.
在近期的研究,她报告说,发现了酗酒人员的大脑白色物质中有显着差异。
this highly dynamic process depends on the creation of new connections called white matter and the elimination or 「pruning 」 of unused brain cells called gray matter.
这个高度动态的过程取决于新神经连接,即新「白质」的产生,同时丢弃不再使用的脑细胞也就是「灰质」的被消除或者「裁剪」。
the amount of white matter (connections between nerves) was similar across the two groups.
两组孩子脑部相同部位的白质(灰质间的连接物)的数量相近。
in the late 1800s in trieste, italy, a medical student named sigmund freud was assigned to investigate the testes of the male eel, postulated to be loops of white matter festooning the body cavity.
1800年代末,在意大利的里雅斯特,一位名叫西格蒙德·弗洛伊德的医科学生受命研究雄性鳗鱼的睪丸。 他假设鳗鱼睪丸是体腔内结成的白质环。
the team then calculated how white matter volume related to age across the two groups.
之后,研究人员计算了两组人员中脑白质含量和年龄的相关性。
