A new study dives into how white matter hyperintensities (WMH) impact cognition, using advanced lesion network mapping (LNM). Here's what we found:

🧩 WMH volume alone? Not the whole story—brain network connections matter more!
🧩 LNM predicts cognitive function better than traditional imaging for key areas like attention, memory, and processing speed.
🧩 Attention networks are key: WMH disrupting these areas linked to lower performance.
🧩 This could lead to personalized therapies and better tools to spot at-risk patients early.

 Why it matters: Understanding how WMH affects brain networks brings us closer to improving care for memory disorders and tailoring treatments to individual needs. 🌟 #BrainHealth #Cognition #Neurology #FixelInstitute
