Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is the prototypic lesion in the encephalopathy of prematurity. Although PVL is identified by targeting cerebral white matter (WM), neuropathological and MRI ...

Periventricular leukomalacia is a type of brain injury that affects the white matter surrounding the ventricles in the brain. There is no cure, but treatment can manage symptoms and help with ...

Patients with hypertension and progression of periventricular white matter abnormalities were at elevated risk for cognitive impairment, according to new findings. Joan Jiménez-Balado, MSc, a PhD ...

White matter structural changes in children correspond to severity of autistic traits, a brain imaging study shows. Structural abnormalities in the brain's white matter match up consistently with ...

The children whose data was analyzed for the study included 1,800 diagnosed with ADHD, all of whom underwent structural MRI scans, diffusion tensor imaging and resting-state functional MRI, the ...

The study, published this month in the American Journal of Psychiatry, involved brain imaging of white matter in 200 children with autism, ADHD, OCD or no diagnosis.White matter is made up of ...

Researchers at Yale University analyzing specialized MRI exams found significant changes in the microstructure of the brain’s white matter in adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum ...

MRI scans have revealed that children taking the medication methylphenidate experience alterations in the distribution of white matter in the brain.

Looking at the specific location of hyperintensities, the researchers found that for each 1% increase in total cardiac plaque there was a 5.0% larger deep white matter hyperintensity (95% CI, 4.66 ...

Consequently, these effects on periventricular white matter might show correlation with cognitive and sensory motor deficits by aging. These results were published in Neural Regeneration Research ...
