White matter microstructure changes across the lifespan: a meta-analysis of longitudinal diffusion MRI studies

2025-08-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> White matter in the human brain is known to play a critical role in facilitating communication between different brain regions. White matter microstructure is often quantified using fractional anisotropy (FA) derived from diffusion-weighted MRI and is often considered a key measure of neural efficiency that is positively associated with motor and cognitive functioning. While lifespan trajector...
