Phenylketonuria, Brain, White matter, Gray matter, Developmental trajectories, Executive abilitiesPhenylketonuria (PKU) is a recessive disorder characterized by disruption in the metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe). Prior research indicates that individuals with PKU have substantial white matter...
the white matter is as a white as the name would imply. The boundaries where the gray matter and the white matter come together are known as the “gray matter/white matter interface.” In such areas, there is a significant difference in the density of brain material, which makes them cons...

However, little is known about white ...
White matter provides connections between the different parts of the brain. The brain is made up of a mixture of grey matter and white matter. White matter is found in the deeper tissues known as the subcortical area.1 If you think of the brain as a computer system, thegray matteris the...
Traditionally, neuroscience regards the brain as being made up of two basic tissue types. Billions of neurons make up the gray matter, forming a thin layer on the brain's surface. These neuronal cells are interlinked in a mindboggling network by hundreds
This study examined white matter dysfunctions common in four major psychiatric disorders (including schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and obsessive–compulsive disorder) using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging. Here we found increased brain activity in the bilateral anterior thalamic...
Balance issues and more falls White matter disease is different from Alzheimer's disease, which affects the brain's gray matter. If you're having memory problems or a loved one is, a doctor will need to run tests to make a diagnosis. ...
(VBM), and surface-based morphometry (SBM) studies to investigate consistent structural brain abnormalities in children and adolescents with CP. A total of 35 studies were eventually included. Altered white matter integrity in the right lenticular nucleus and the right inferior longitudinal fasciculus ...
Brain imaging studies have identified alterations in both gray matter and white matter in the brain in patients with ADHD (Thapar and Cooper, 2015). Findings from recent genetic studies also support the involvement of white matter alterations in ADHD, as *Correspondence: Professor Y-F Wang, ...
White matter is brain tissue that is located below the surface gray matter. It is composed of nerve fibers that connect the different areas of the brain.
