Re the above - on the lateral ventricle page there are meta-analyses on the increased size of the ventricle in relation to various disorders - does an increased ventricular size mean a decrease in grey/white matter? If it does then is that info relevant here? --Iztwoz (talk) 09:20, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Going back over time, there has been a lot of data about this in relation to schizophrenia. It might be worth doing a PubMed search for any meta-analyses of that. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:29, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

in spinal cord: grey matter, interneurons, cell bodies

[edit]

Given that there are interneurons in the spinal cord, doesn't it then follow fundamentally that their cell bodies are also present? So that the sentence, "The grey matter in the spinal cord consists of interneurons, as well as cell bodies.", should be something like, "The grey matter in the spinal cord consists of the cell bodies of interneurons, as well as their dendrites."?

Good catch, thanks. I think it is actually meant to mean "interneurons, as well as the cell bodies of projection neurons". I just made that edit. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:31, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
