Retinal microvasculature and white matter microstructure
To investigate whether retinal microvascular damage is related to normal-appearing white matter microstructure on diffusion tensor MRI.We included 2,436 participants (age ≥45 years) from the population-based Rotterdam Study (2005-2009) who had gradable retinal images and brain MRI scans.

Neuropsychological development in adolescents: Longitudinal associations with white matter microstructure [PDF]
Important neuropsychological changes during adolescence coincide with the maturation of white matter microstructure. Few studies have investigated the association between neuropsychological development and white matter maturation longitudinally. We aimed

White matter microstructure correlates with mathematics but not word reading performance in 13-year-old children born very preterm and full-term [PDF]
Individuals born very preterm (VPT; 1 standard deviation below FT mean) had significantly reduced neurite density compared with VPT children without an impairment.

White matter microstructure alterations in bipolar disorder. [PDF]
Genetic, neuropathological and magnetic resonance imaging findings support the presence of diffuse white matter cytoarchitectural disruption in bipolar disorder. In this study, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) was applied to study cortical white matter microstructure organisation in 24 patients with DSM-IV bipolar disorder and 35 matched normal ...

Individual Differences in True and False Memory Retrieval Are Related to White Matter Brain Microstructure [PDF]
We sometimes vividly remember things that did not happen, a phenomenon with general relevance, not only in the courtroom. It is unclear to what extent individual differences in false memories are driven by anatomical differences in memory-relevant brain ...

Schizophrenia polygenic risk score influence on white matter microstructure [PDF]
Schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) are highly heritable, share symptomatology, and have a polygenic architecture. The impact of recent polygenic risk scores (PRS) for psychosis, which combine multiple genome-wide associated risk variations ...

Modeling white matter microstructure [PDF]
Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging can be combined with advanced biophysical models to measure microstructural features of white matter. Non-invasive microstructural imaging has the potential to revolutionize neuroscience, and acquiring these measures in clinically feasible times would greatly improve patient monitoring and clinical studies of ...

White matter microstructure and verbal fluency
AbstractPoor performance on verbal fluency tasks is associated with an increased risk of post-stroke cognitive impairment. Grey matter regions supporting verbal fluency have been identified via lesion–symptom mapping, but the links between verbal fluency and white matter structure remain less well described.

White Matter Microstructure and Cognitive Function [PDF]
In recent years, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) has been increasingly used to explore the relationship between white matter structure and cognitive function. This technique uses the passive diffusion of water molecules to infer properties of the surrounding tissue.

Cigarette smoking and white matter microstructure [PDF]
Diffusion tensor imaging has been used before in testing associations between cigarette smoking and white matter integrity, with inconsistent results. Published reports indicate higher fractional anisotropy (FA, a measure of linear water diffusion) in some brain regions and lower FA in others in adult smokers compared to nonsmokers.
