Cell part cluster consisting predominantly of neurites in the brain and the spinal cord[FMA:83929]. Multi-tissue structure comprised largely of myelinated axons.[TAO] |
| UBPROP_0000003 |
The myelination of axons by glial cells was the last major step in the evolution of cells in the vertebrate nervous system, and white-matter tracts are key to the architecture of the mammalian brain.[well established][VHOG] |
