Gray matter contains the control centers of the cells in our brains while white matter contains the fatty extensions that extend from each brain cell and connect our neurons together. A loss of gray matter can result in neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's and dementia, while a loss of white matter can disrupt the flow of information between different parts of the brain, resulting in impaired memory, balance and mobility.
"We are currently working on what happens to the white matter," he said."This is made up of axons–parts of neurons that connect between different regions of the central nervous system–and myelin. We know there is loss of myelin, but not why. Interestingly in those people who abstain there is a partial recovery of their myelin. So finding the mechanism could be really important.
