Damage to white matter networks resulting from small vessel disease and the effects on cognitive function

Abstract excerpt

White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are prevalent in older age and are associated with cognitive decline. The location and extent of WMHs likely influences the relationship with behavior. Identifying which tracts are more likely impacted by WMHs might enable better understanding of which behaviors are affected. Therefore, this study aimed to i) identify which white matter tracts are most affected by WMHs, and...
