WHAT DOES NEUROPIL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Neuropil

Neuropil, sometimes referred to as "neuropile," is a broad term defined as any area in the nervous system composed of mostly unmyelinated axons, dendrites and glial cell processes that forms a synaptically dense region containing a relatively low number of cell bodies. The most prevalent anatomical region of neuropil is the brain which, although not completely composed of neuropil, does have the largest and highest synaptically-concentrated areas of neuropil in the body. For example, the neocortex and olfactory bulb both contain neuropil. White matter, which is mostly composed of axons and glial cells, is generally not considered to be a part of the neuropil. Neuropil comes from the Greek: neuro, meaning "tendon, sinew; nerve" and pilos, meaning "felt." The term's origin can be traced back to the late 19th century.
