Genetic risk factors underlying white matter hyperintensities and cortical atrophy [PDF]
White matter hyperintensities index structural abnormalities in the cerebral white matter, including axonal damage. The latter may promote atrophy of the cerebral cortex, a key feature of dementia.

White-matter hyperintensities in first-episode psychosis [PDF]
BackgroundWhite-matter hyperintensities have been associated with both schizophrenia and mood disorders, particularly bipolar disorder, but results are inconsistent across studiesAimsTo examine whether white-matter hyperintensities are a vulnerability marker for psychosis or are specifically associated with bipolar disorderMethodT2-weighted magnetic ...

Divergent functional connectivity changes associated with white matter hyperintensities
Age-related white matter hyperintensities are a common feature and are known to be negatively associated with structural integrity, functional connectivity, and cognitive performance. However, this has yet to be fully understood mechanistically.

Early life socioeconomic circumstance and late life brain hyperintensities--a population based cohort study. [PDF]
ContextThere have been many reports confirming the association between lower childhood socioeconomic circumstance and cardiovascular disease but evidence for links with cerebrovascular disease is contradictory.

Microstructural white matter changes preceding white matter hyperintensities in migraine
We used magnetization transfer imaging to assess white matter tissue integrity in migraine, to explore whether white matter microstructure was more diffusely affected beyond visible white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), and to explore whether focal invisible microstructural changes precede visible focal WMHs in migraineurs.We included 137 migraineurs ...

Association of Low Blood Pressure with White Matter Hyperintensities in Elderly Individuals with Controlled Hypertension [PDF]
Background and Purpose Both hypertension and hypotension increase cerebral white matter hyperintensities. However, the effects of hypotension in individuals with treated hypertension are unknown. We analyzed the association of low blood pressure with the

Prevalence of white matter hyperintensities is not elevated in a large sample of adolescents and young adults with bipolar disorder [PDF]
Objective: The increased prevalence rate of white matter hyperintensities is one of the most consistently reported brain abnormalities in adults with bipolar disorder.
