Microscopic examination indicates that the white matter regions are characterized by a multilamellar sheath (myelin) which sur- rounds the axons. A morphologically similar myelin imparts the white color to tracts of the peripheral nervous system, although, as is empha- sized throughout the book, there are very significant morphological and chemical differences between central and peripheral myelin. The rapid postnatal accumulation of myelin is temporally associated with increasing functional capacity ... Read more
