Microglia exacerbate white matter injury via complement C3/C3aR pathway after hypoperfusion
Microglial activation participates in white matter injury after cerebral hypoperfusion. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, we explore whether activated microglia aggravate white matter injury via complement C3-C3aR pathway after chronic ...

Metachromatic leukodystrophy and transplantation: remyelination, no cross‐correction
Objective In metachromatic leukodystrophy, a lysosomal storage disorder due to decreased arylsulfatase A activity, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may stop brain demyelination and allow remyelination, thereby halting white matter degeneration ...

Association between Perivascular Spaces and Progression of White Matter Hyperintensities in Lacunar Stroke Patients. [PDF]
Perivascular spaces are associated with MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease, including white matter hyperintensities. Although perivascular spaces are considered to be an early MRI marker of cerebral small vessel disease, it is unknown whether ...

Vanishing white matter disease [PDF]
Vanishing White Matter Disease (VWMD) is one of the most prevalent inherited white matter disorders in childhood, with a large variety in the age of onset and rate of progression. The classical and most common type shows its onset between the ages of 2 and 6 years in children with initially normal motor and mental development.

The Microvasculature of the Cerebral White Matter: Arteries of the Subcortical White Matter [PDF]
The microvascular architecture of the human cerebral subcortical white matter was studied. Most of the subcortical arteries ran straight through the cortex, but upon entering the white matter, they began to coil, loop, and spiral. Vascular stains showed wide spaces between the adventitial sheaths and blood vessels. The blood vessels coiled, looped, and

White matter changes in Alzheimer’s disease: a focus on myelin and oligodendrocytes
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is conceptualized as a progressive consequence of two hallmark pathological changes in grey matter: extracellular amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.

Rethinking the standard trans-cortical approaches in the light of superficial white matter anatomy
A better comprehension of the superficial white matter organization is important in order to minimize potential and avoidable damage to long or intermediate association fibre bundles during every step of a surgical approach.

White matter changes underlie hypertension-related cognitive decline in older adults
Hypertension has been well recognized as a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. Although the underlying mechanisms of hypertension-affected cognitive deterioration are not fully understood, white matter changes (WMCs) seem to play an ...
