Myeloarchitecture

Myeloarchitecture

The myeloarchitecture of CNS tissues refers to the structures and anatomical features associated with the myelin sheaths of neuronal axons. More generally, this refers to white matter (which is white because of high myelin concentration) and tissues associated with connectivity between brain regions.
