Functional connectivity in cognitive control networks mitigates the impact of white matter lesions in the elderly

Abstract Background Cerebrovascular pathology, quantified by white matter lesions (WML), is known to affect cognition in aging, and is associated with an increased risk of dementia. The present study aimed to investigate whether higher functional connectivity in cognitive control networks mitigates...
