  • Title: Water contents of various regions of the feline nervous system.
    Author: Gadea-Ciria M, Gervas-Camacho J, Garcia-Garcia M, Defeudis FV.
    Journal: Med Biol; 1975 Dec; 53(6):469-74. PubMed ID: 1214540.
    Abstract:
    A systematic analysis of the regional water content of the feline nervous system was made. In general, areas rich in grey matter contained about 10-15% more water than white matter areas. Percentage water values were lowest for cranial and peripheral nerves and highest for cerebral cortex, cerebellar cortex, olfactory bulb and other grey matter regions. Values for cerebral cortex varied from about 81.5% for suprasplenic gyrus to over 84% for frontal gyrus. It is suggested that the effective concentrations of dissolved substances in various regions of the nervous system might be influenced greatly by these differences in water content.
