White matter hyperintensities: repercussion on grey matter structures of the brain

Rev. bras. neurol; 57 (3), 2021
The extensive white matter of the brain, which comprises about one half of its volume, is constituted by an intricate and interwoven assemble of nerve fibers. The WMH (leukoaraiosis) represent the most frequent ischemic type of lesion of SVD, affecting the white matter. These lesions may be apparent or n...

Latent class analysis of attention and white matter correlation in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (11), 2018
This study aimed to explore attentional patterns among children with inattentive attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-I) and children with typical development (TD), using a latent class analysis (LCA). Patterns of brain connectivity were also explored. The sample comprised 29 ADHD-I and 29 TD m...

Neurobiological underpinnings of bipolar disorder focusing on findings of diffusion tensor imaging: a systematic review

Objective: To review the available data on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of subjects with bipolar disorder (BD), with a particular focus on fractional anisotropy (FA) in white matter (WM) tracts. Methods: The PubMed/MEDLINE database was searched for relevant articles, which were included in a systemati...
