Crystallinity characterization of white matter in the human brain
New Journal of Physics, 2021 Human brain tissue is a heterogeneous material, consisting of soft outer grey matter tethered internally by stiffer cords of white matter. These white matter tracts conduct electrical impulses between grey matter regions, thereby underpinning neuronal ...

Rapid and widespread white matter plasticity during an intensive reading intervention
Nature Communications, 2018 White matter tissue properties are known to correlate with performance across domains ranging from reading to math, to executive function. Here, we use a longitudinal intervention design to examine experience-dependent growth in reading skills and white ...

Functional connectivity of white matter as a biomarker of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease.
PLoS ONE, 2020 ObjectiveIn vivo functional changes in white matter during the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have not been previously reported. Our objectives are to measure changes in white matter functional connectivity (FC) in an elderly population ...

Characterization of White Matter Hyperintensities in Large-Scale MRI-Studies
Frontiers in Neurology, 2019 Background: White matter hyperintensities of presumed vascular origin (WMH) are a common finding in elderly people and a growing social malady in the aging western societies. As a manifestation of cerebral small vessel disease, WMH are considered to be a

Brain White Matter: A Substrate for Resilience and a Substance for Subcortical Small Vessel Disease
Brain Sciences, 2019 Age-related brain white matter disease is a form of small vessel disease (SVD) that may be associated with lacunar and other small subcortical infarcts, cerebral microbleeds, and perivascular spaces.

Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study examines the demographic dynamics of two seabird populations on Tromelin Island, 15 years after the eradication of brown rats. The results indicate that these populations are in good health and are expected to continue growing until breeding sites are saturated in about a century.
