The white/gray (US)grey(UK) matter balance is normal/retained
La sustancia blanca se encuentra en los tejidos más profundos del cerebro (subcorticales). Contiene fibras nerviosas (axones), las cuales son extensiones de las células nerviosas (neuronas). ... En comparación, la sustancia gris es tejido que se encuentra en la superficie del cerebro (cortical).
The white matter is found in the inner layer of the cortex, the optic nerves, the central and lower areas of the brain or brainstem, and surrounding the central shaft of gray matter in the spinal cord. ... The neurons in the gray matter consist of neuronal cell bodies and their dendrites.

The white matter refers to those parts of the brain and spinal cord that are responsible for communication between the various gray matter regions and between the gray matter and the rest of the body. In essence, the gray matter is where the processing is done and the white matter is the channels of communication.

Many issues may affect the grey matter found in the brain and the spinal cord. One of the most prevalent medical problems occurs when plaque begins to build up in areas of grey matter within the brain. These areas, known as senile plaques, take up space that was once grey matter, leading to a decrease of higher functioning. As amyloid beta continues to buildup in the grey matter, cognitive function further decreases, which causes the patient to lose memory, a condition known as Alzheimer disease.[10] Furthermore, besides a loss in cognitive function, grey matter diseases can lead to issues with motor function as well. As the neurons in the substantia nigra begin to decrease the amount of dopamine that is released, the individual will lose control of fine motor skills. This decrease in motor function control contributes to the shaking found in patients with Parkinson disease. There are many more issues that may present themselves as the balance of grey matter is changed, and neural connections become disrupted.
