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.

White matter disease, or leukoaraiosis, causes white matter in the brain to decline. It can cause issues with balance and mood changes, among other symptoms. It gets worse over time. White matter ...

White matter disease articles from across Nature Portfolio. ... Here, the authors present and validate an end-to-end pipeline to quantify brain morphometry using LF-MRI in patients with dementia.

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 ...

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

Changes in the brain's white matter may play a major role in the onset of Alzheimer's disease, whose baffling origin has traditionally been blamed on the gray matter. The new findings could ...

We examined the association between general intelligence and three quantitative biomarkers of brain white matter tract integrity, FA from DT-MRI alongside two others which are novel to the study ...

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 ...

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

Historically, gray matter was typically considered the brain’s organ grinder, and white matter was just the monkey. But in recent years, it has become clear that the monkey is just as important ...

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 ...
