Abstract

The article focuses on the relationship between white matter integrity (WMI) and fluid cognitive functioning in individuals aged 85 and older. Using MRI imaging and cognitive assessments from the NIH Toolbox, the study found that age significantly predicts fluid cognition, with measures of WMI in specific brain regions—including the cingulate gyrus, uncinate fasciculus, splenium of the corpus callosum, and fornix—further improving this prediction. These results emphasize the importance of preserving regional white matter health to support cognitive functioning in the oldest-old population.
