Document Summary
White matter = inner shell: axons myelin is white. Change the volume change the pressure. Creates a pressure problem that registers as pain in your brain. Our if is special and enclosed in our brain (csf), so we have to make sure we have the right amount. Ventricles help make sure we have the right amount of csf. Strong white band that runs thru middle of brain. Cerebrum has a right and left half that need to communicate. Use corpus callosum as the communication pathway. White communicates with left and right hemispheres. Massive bundle of axons that are myelinated that are white. Talk back and forth from right and left side of the brain. If you cut it, lose communication between the right and left hemispheres. There are things that will be affected if the communication is not connected between the two. Diencephalon is older, the cerebrum is considered newer is like the ancient brain.
