Brain Peak Width of Skeletonized Mean Diffusivity (PSMD) and Cognitive Function in Later Life

Brain Peak Width of Skeletonized Mean Diffusivity (PSMD) and Cognitive Function in Later Life

It is suggested that the brain’s peak width of skeletonized water mean diffusivity (PSMD) is a neuro-biomarker of processing speed, an important aspect of cognitive aging. We tested whether PSMD is more strongly correlated with processing speed than with other cognitive domains, and more strongly th...
