Not talking about people here, of course, but from a culinary perspective... what would the difference in taste be? If there's extra myelin and stuff in the white matter, would it in general cook up better because it's fattier?

[edit] The pedophiles statement seems out of place

What does the size of the white matter of pedophiles has to do with the article? It seems disconnected, out of place. I suggest it should be moved in the appropriate article related to pedophiles.Visarga (talk) 06:40, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Weird intro sentence

Yes, white matter is named for its color, but shouldn't the first sentence of the article be something more definitional? If I know that white matter is white, gray matter gray, and the substantia nigra is black, I still don't know anything about white matter. Laurosaur (talk) 19:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
