Disease of the microscopic blood vessels that feed the white matter of our brain is associated with worse cognitive function and memory deficits in individuals with Alzheimer's, scientists report.

Researchers analysed brain imaging data from over 241,000 adults aged over 50 who underwent either CT or MRI between 2009 and ...

White matter disease, or leukoaraiosis, involves the degeneration of the brain’s white matter. White matter disease usually occurs due to aging, but it can also affect young people. Learn more here.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (Aug. 2, 2022) – Disease of the microscopic blood vessels that feed the white matter of our brain is associated with worse cognitive function and memory deficits in individuals with ...

A new study examines how age-related brain changes could be linked to stroke recovery. Researchers suggest areas of age-related damage to parts of the brain containing white matter may influence ...

They show up as bright white spots when you get a brain MRI: lesions called white matter hyperintensities, or WMH. And their ...

A neuroimaging study in 2020 identified white matter hyperintensities, a significant contributor to Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS), such as apathy, irritability and depression, to be present in ...

Different approaches to gray and white matter measurements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been studied. For clinical use, the estimated values must be reliable and accurate when ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, primarily affect gray matter, causing the gradual loss of neurons in particular brain areas.
