    The brain contains white matter and grey matter. White matter is found deeper in the brain and contains axons that pass messages between areas of grey matter. Grey matter is the major component of the central nervous system and contains neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons that enable movement, memory, and emotion. The brain also contains nuclei that are clusters of neurons deep within the hemispheres and brain stem, as well as the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres and allows communication between the sides of the brain.
