Cytoarchitecture
Cytoarchitecture is the cellular composition of a bodily structure.

In biology, it refers to the arrangement of cells in a tissue, and in neuroscience it refers specifically to the arrangement of neuronal somas (cell bodies) in the brain. In neurobiology, staining for grey matter in the brain would highlight its cytoarchitecture, since grey matter is in part defined by high concentrations of neuron cell bodies (as opposed to white matter which refers to areas with high concentrations of myelinated neuronal axons).
