Testing retrogenesis and physiological explanations for tract-wise white matter aging: links to developmental order, fibre calibre, and vascularization

The paper investigates whether white matter aging follows developmental order (retrogenesis) or physiological factors like fibre size and perfusion, finding mixed support for both theories.

White matter tract microstructure, macrostructure, and associated cortical gray matter morphology across the lifespan

The paper characterizes lifespan changes in white matter microstructure, macrostructure, and associated cortical morphology using large datasets, finding unique developmental and aging trajectories across brain pathways.

Amyloid-PET of the white matter: relationship to free water, fiber integrity, and cognition in patients with dementia and small vessel disease

This study examines the relationship between amyloid-PET signals in white matter and microstructural changes like free water and fiber integrity, finding that free water and WMH volume are more closely linked to Aβ-PET in WMH regions.

Is adiposity associated with white matter microstructural health and intelligence differently in men and women?

This study examines how adiposity relates to white matter microstructural health and intelligence, finding sex differences in these associations.

White matter microstructural integrity across the adult lifespan: Combined perspective of diffusion tensor and kurtosis imaging

This study compares diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in UK Biobank data to assess how non-Gaussian diffusion metrics improve understanding of white matter aging.
