The gray matter remains normal in all characteristics while the white matter changes texture, becoming soft and gelatinous. Rarefaction of the white matter is seen through light microscopy and the small number of axons and U-fibers that were affected can also be seen. Numerous small cavities in the white matter are also apparent.
[4] Future researchers should focus on using superior diffusion imaging methods as well correlating specific symptoms, rather than presence or absence of disease state, with changes in white matter. [4] In contrast, microstructural changes to the uncinate fasciculus have been consistently been linked to conduct disorder and psychopathy. [15]
A metabolism disorder or tumors in the nervous system may appear to be CP; metabolic disorders, in particular, can produce brain problems that look like CP on an MRI. [1] Disorders that deteriorate the white matter in the brain and problems that cause spasms and weakness in the legs, may be mistaken for CP if they first appear early in life. [96]
It can also refer to gene MLC1 or Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts 1, a human gene related to the former disease. Hypertensive leukoencephalopathy; The classification of leukoencephalopathies is a matter of debate. Some authors divide leukoencephalopathies into hereditary disorders and acquired disorders.
Leukodystrophies are a group of, usually, inherited disorders, characterized by degeneration of the white matter in the brain. [1] The word leukodystrophy comes from the Greek roots leuko, "white", dys, "abnormal" and troph, "growth".
Disconnection syndrome is a general term for a collection of neurological symptoms caused – via lesions to associational or commissural nerve fibres – by damage to the white matter axons of communication pathways in the cerebrum (not to be confused with the cerebellum), independent of any lesions to the cortex.

Chopra says Rodgers was immediately “really trusting” with him and Hughes, adding that throughout their year working together on the documentary, Rodgers “was very open and vulnerable.”
Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a form of white-matter brain injury, characterized by the necrosis (more often coagulation) of white matter near the lateral ventricles.
