The gray matter of the spinal cord contains the cell bodies of neurons and serves as both an integrative center and a relay station for nerve impulses. However, it does not act as a passageway for nerve tracts to the brain. Instead, white matter in the spinal cord contains these tracts which relay signals between different levels of the spinal cord and between the spinal cord and the brain.
