Frontal White Matter Hyperintensities and Executive Functioning Performance in Older Adults

Frontal White Matter Hyperintensities and Executive Functioning Performance in Older Adults

Frontal lobe structures decline faster than most other brain regions in older adults. Age-related change in the frontal lobe is associated with poorer executive function (e.g., working memory, switching/set-shifting, and inhibitory control). The effects and presence of frontal lobe white matter hype...
