The division of the mature mammalian brain and spinal cord into regions of "white" matter and "gray" matter is observable upon the most cursory inspection. A morphologically similar myelin imparts the white color to tracts of the peripheral nervous system, although, as is empha- sized throughout the book, there are very significant morphological and chemical differences between central and peripheral myelin. Microscopic examination indicates that the "white" matter regions are characterized by a multilamellar sheath (myelin) which sur- rounds the axons.
The ability of myelinated axons to conduct electrical impulses much more rapidly and with much lower use of energy, relative to unmyelinated axons, is now The rapid postnatal accumulation of myelin is temporally associated with increasing functional capacity and presumably indicates some important role related to neuronal activity.
