The Impact of Strategic White Matter Hyperintensity Lesion Location on Language.

CONCLUSION: Our findings identify the left cingulum of cingulate gyrus as a strategic white matter tract for MBNT, suggesting that language - is sensitive to subcortical ischemic damage. Future studies on the role of sporadic ischemic lesions and vascular cognitive impairment should not only focus on total WMH volume but should also take WMH lesion location into account when addressing language.
