In the brain, the cells are gathered in the surface ofthe brain, which looks darker, called the gray matter of the brain, while thenerve fibers are gathered inside the brain and look pale, called white matter. Brain white matter diseaseis a structural change in the brain, characterized by ...
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) patients may have brain white matter (WM) lesions, but the association of these lesions with disease activity is poorly understood. We retrospectively evaluated the brain WM lesions of...
White brain matter can predict depressive symptomsThe article offers information regarding a study on the association between changes in white brain matter and depressive symptoms. The study by researche...
Objects: The objects of the study reported were to recognize different patterns of white matter disease (WMD) in the follow-up of children after surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy for malignant primary brain tumors and to evaluate statistical data on the incidence of WMD and various risk ...
matterlesionsType 1A, the most common form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT1A) disease, is characterized by demyelination of the peripheral nervous system. So far, only a few cases of the disease with concomitant brain white matter lesions have been described. We report an Italian family wi...
The structural integrity of the brain’s white matter as measured with an advanced MRI technique is lower in cognitively normal people who carry a genetic mutation associated withAlzheimer’sdisease than it is in non-carriers, according to a study inRadiology. Researchers said the findings show th...
The article presents a study that investigates the nature, timing and consequences of brain injury on magnetic resonance imaging in a cohort of young infants undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease. It reveals that white matter injury (WMI) was the commonest type of injury both before and...
White matter structure displays a unique trajectory in the brain over the entirety of development and aging.2Recent evidence has consistently supported an inverted “U” or quadratic depiction of cerebral white matter over the life span, such that peak white matter volume in the brain is reached ...
"If you think of gray matter as the computer, white matter is like the cables," said study co-author Clara Weber, a postgraduate research fellow at Yale University School of Medicine. The changes are most apparent in the region involved in communication between the brain's two hemispheres, ...
Atlas-based whole brain white matter analysis using large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping: application to normal elderly and Alzheimer's disease p... The purpose of this paper is to establish single-participant white matter atlases based on diffusion tensor imaging. As one of the applicatio...
