White matter is the network of nerve fibres that connects different parts of the brain. Changes to white matter are common with age and can also be linked to blood pressure or small vessel disease. An MRI may show areas where white matter appears different to what would typically be expected. Identifying white matter changes early may prompt lifestyle and cardiovascular risk factor management that could help slow progression.
