Cognitive state following stroke: the predominant role of preexisting white matter lesions.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Background and purposeStroke is a major cause of cognitive impairment and dementia in adults, however the role of the ischemic lesions themselves, on top of other risk factors known in the elderly, remains controversial.

Effects of white matter injury on resting state fMRI measures in prematurely born infants. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The cerebral white matter is vulnerable to injury in very preterm infants (born prior to 30 weeks gestation), resulting in a spectrum of lesions. These range from severe forms, including cystic periventricular leukomalacia and periventricular hemorrhagic

Invited Article: An MRI-based approach to the diagnosis of white matter disorders [PDF]

, 2009
Background: There are many different white matter disorders, both inherited and acquired, and consequently the diagnostic process is difficult. Establishing a specific diagnosis is often delayed at great emotional and financial costs.

Epidemiology of White-Matter Lesions

International Psychogeriatrics, 2003
This is an overview of the prevalence of, and risk factors for white matter lesions in older persons. The prevalence of white matter lesions is high and increases with age. Most risk factors that have been examined in association with white matter lesions are similar to those for cardiovascular disease, including elevated blood pressure, diabetes ...

Different patterns of white matter degeneration using multiple diffusion indices and volumetric data in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer patients [PDF]

, 2012
Alzheimeŕs disease (AD) represents the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder that causes cognitive decline in old age. In its early stages, AD is associated with microstructural abnormalities in white matter (WM).

Comparing Cerebral White Matter Lesion Burdens between Parkinson’s Disease with and without Dementia [PDF]

Journal of Movement Disorders, 2010
Cerebral white matter lesions (CWMLs) have been suggested to be associated with an increased risk of dementia, disability, and death. CWMLs are more common in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) than in normal elderly individuals of comparable age.
