A. Coronal section (see reference of slice location on whole brain insert) of an adult human brain showing the gray and white matter compartments as well as the fluid filled ventricular cavities. The neocortex is the thin layer of cells covering the surface of the brain. White matter pathways run beneath the cortical surface. Deep gray matter nuclei serve as relay stations.
