Grey matter Areas of neuronal cell bodies in the brain

Grey matter is a major component of the central nervous system, consisting of neuronal cell bodies, neuropil, glial cells, synapses, and capillaries. Grey matter is distinguished from white matter in that it contains numerous cell bodies and relatively few myelinated axons, while white matter contains relatively few cell bodies and is composed chiefly of long-range myelinated axons. The colour difference arises mainly from the whiteness of myelin. In living tissue, grey matter actually has a very light grey colour with yellowish or pinkish hues, which come from capillary blood vessels and neuronal cell bodies.

Grey aliens, also referred to as Zeta Reticulans, Roswell Greys, or Grays are purported extraterrestrial beings. According to journalist C. D. B.

Such claims vary widely, but typically Greys are described as being human-like with small bodies with smooth grey-colored skin; enlarged, hairless heads; and large black eyes.
