Tract-defined regional white matter hyperintensities and memory

Reads0

TLDR
White matter hyperintensity volume in association and projection tracts was related to memory in older adults and the relationship of WMH volumes with cognition was specific to memory, and not to a global cognition measure that excluded memory.

White matter hyperintensities are associated with grey matter atrophy and cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia

TL;DR: In this paper , the impact of WMHs on grey matter atrophy and cognition in normal aging (n = 571), mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n = 551), Alzheimer's dementia (AD, N = 212), fronto-temporal dementia (FTD, N= 125), and Parkinson's disease (PD, n= 271).

Free water: A marker of age-related modifications of the cingulum white matter and its association with cognitive decline.

TL;DR: It is observed that free water elimination increased the ability of conventional DTI measures to detect associations between tissue diffusion measures of the cingulum and changes in verbal fluency in older individuals, suggesting thatfree water itself could be a relevant marker for age-related cingula white matter modifications and cognitive decline.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of vascular health factors on white matter microstructure mediates age-related differences in executive function performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, structural equation models were used to test the effect of vascular risk factors on executive function and executive function was found to be negatively influenced by increased systolic blood pressure and white matter hyperintensity.

The effect of vascular health factors on white matter microstructure mediates age-related differences in executive function performance

TL;DR: It is suggested that aging brings about increases in both BP and WMH burden, which may be involved in the degradation of white matter connectivity and in turn, negatively impact executive functions as the authors age.

Fast robust automated brain extraction

TL;DR: An automated method for segmenting magnetic resonance head images into brain and non‐brain has been developed and described and examples of results and the results of extensive quantitative testing against “gold‐standard” hand segmentations, and two other popular automated methods.

Default-mode network activity distinguishes Alzheimer's disease from healthy aging: Evidence from functional MRI

TL;DR: A goodness-of-fit analysis applied at the individual subject level suggests that activity in the default-mode network may ultimately prove a sensitive and specific biomarker for incipient AD.

The assessment of aphasia and related disorders

TL;DR: This small volume is designed as an introduction to the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Test and deals briefly with the authors' concept of aphasia as a neuropsychological, psycholinguistic phenomena.

Fiber tract-based atlas of human white matter anatomy.

TL;DR: Two- and three-dimensional white matter atlases were created on the basis of high-spatial-resolution diffusion tensor magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and 3D tract reconstruction and showed which anatomic structures can be identified on diffusion Tensor images and where these anatomic units are located at each section level and orientation.
