Studies reveal how white-matter communication tracts change throughout life, indicating crucial neurological insights.
Studies of white matter — the tissue used for communication between brain regions — have revealed substantial changes in people with neurological diseases and disorders. The creation of white-matter brain charts enables individual deviations from the typical structure to be assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans. Brain charts provide a benchmark reference for how white-matter tracts grow, mature and decline across the lifespan.
