at high concentration of bodies of neurons.The dendrites, which are comparable to nerve signal reception antennas, The axon (or nerve fiber), which corresponds to an extension of the body, serves to spread nerve information and can be myelinated or unmyelinated, depending on whether or not it is wrapped in a myelin sheath.

Also containing neuropils, glia cells and small amounts of myelinated nerve fibers, gray matter is found on the surface and inside of the brain and cerebellum, on the structures of the diencephalon and inside the brainstem and spinal cord.
The gray matter is the architect of the functions covered by the central nervous system.
Please Note: myelinated axon and myelinated nerve fiber are synonymous, in the same way as unmyelinated axon and unmyelinated nerve fiber.
.As readers may notice, gray matter encompasses not only neuronal bodies, but more as well.
