Gray Matter Volume Increase

Meaning

Gray Matter Volume Increase describes the clinically observed phenomenon of structural growth or preservation in the gray matter of the central nervous system, which is primarily composed of neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses. This increase, often measured via neuroimaging, signifies enhanced neuronal density and synaptic complexity in key brain regions. It is a direct physiological marker of neuroplasticity and brain health, correlating with improved cognitive function and resilience.
