White Matter Microstructure and Cognitive Function
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. DW-MRI has been extensively employed to investigate how individual differences in behavior are related to v...
متن کاملCommon and heritable components of white matter microstructure predict cognitive function at 1 and 2 y.
Previous studies indicate that the microstructure of individual white matter (WM) tracts is related to cognitive function. More recent studies indicate that the microstructure of individual tracts is highly correlated and that a property common across WM is related to overall cognitive function in adults. However, little is known about whether these common WM properties exist in early childhood...
متن کاملWhite matter and cognitive function in schizophrenia.
Abnormalities of cerebral white matter, oligodendrocytes, and myelin have been observed in schizophrenia with in-vivo imaging and post-mortem biochemistry. White-matter abnormalities are also frequently associated with cognitive impairment in both healthy and diseased individuals, and cognitive dysfunction is an important component of schizophrenia. While many studies have documented these asso...
متن کاملWhite Matter Microstructure and Cognitive Function in Young Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
CONTEXT Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder characterized by insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism, which leads to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in later life. Androgens and insulin signaling affect brain function but little is known about brain structure and function in younger adults with PCOS. OBJECTIVE To establish whether young women with PCOS display altered white ma...
متن کاملWhite matter microstructure is associated with cognitive control in children.
Cognitive control, which involves the ability to pay attention and suppress interference, is important for learning and achievement during childhood. The white matter tracts related to control during childhood are not well known. We examined the relationship between white matter microstructure and cognitive control in 61 children aged 7-9 years using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). This techniq...
