MEDICAL DICTIONARY
Leukodystrophy: A disorder of the white matter of the brain, the part of the brain that contains myelinated nerve fibers. The white matter is white because it is the color of myelin , the insulation covering the nerve fibers. (The white matter is as opposed to the gray matter , the cortex of the brain which contains the nerve cell bodies). The white matter is involved in the conduction of nerve impulses in the brain.
