Why do people talk about the brain as being 'grey' matter
Parts of the brain are grey, about 40% the remaining 60% is white, although women differ from men. Women have smaller brains, generally, but have more grey matter in them than men. It is the grey matter which performs the brain's processing functions, and the white matter acts as the conductor which moves the information around. Although it's abit dangerous to draw close links between brains and computers, you could say that the grey matter did the job of the microchips, and the white matter was the circuit that joined them together.
It is thought that the different ratios of grey and white matter in male and female brains accounts for the fact that women are often better communicators, while man may have enhanced spatial awareness, This could be why it needs a man to read a map, and a woman to explain why they got lost in the first place. Recent research has suggested that the amount of white matter in our brains may also affect our ability to tell lies and deceive. As it takes a lot more careful thinking to tell a successful fib, scientists now believe that the white matter in the brain provides the tool which helps liars think more quickly, because the more white matter there is the more rapid the connections between the processors in the grey matter can be made. The instinct to behave ourselves and not tell lies is also found in the grey matter, and habitual liars tend to have less grey matter, making thier problems worse.
the grey matter is hungry stuff - 94% of the brain's oxygen is used to feed it.
