Poor health in one part of the body often leads to problems elsewhere. A new study links gum disease with an increased risk ...

Older adults with gum disease were more likely to show white matter damage in brain scans, a sign linked to memory and movement problems.

Hypertension impairs blood vessels, neurons and white matter in the brain well before the condition causes a measurable rise ...

A new study published in the journal Cerebral Cortex provides evidence that differences in general intelligence may be partly ...

Adolescence, the life stage that marks the transition between childhood and adulthood, is known to be a vital period for the brain's development. During this critical phase, people's mental abilities, ...

An observational study examines how age-related brain changes could be linked to stroke recovery. The authors suggest a possible link between age-related damage to parts of the brain containing white ...

Older adults with gum disease are more likely to display signs of white matter damage in the brain, which is correlated with memory decline, balance issues, and higher stroke risk. That is according ...

People with gum disease may have higher levels of brain white matter damage, a new study finds. Researchers observed that participants with gum disease had significantly more white matter ...

The study found that adults with gum disease were more likely to have white matter hyperintensities—bright spots visible on ...

With the new MRI diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technique used in this study that found the white matter damage in the brain, medical practitioners will be able to diagnose dementia earlier, possibly ...

Alzheimer’s disease (Alzheimer’s) is conceptualized as a progressive consequence of two hallmark pathological changes in gray matter, in particular, extracellular amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary ...
