ROI on 3-D WMH maps Cg: genu of corpus callosum, Cs: splenium of corpus callosum, Pa: anterior periventricular region, Pb: body of periventricular region, Pp: posterior periventricular region, Po: occipital periventricular region. Abbreviations: ROI volume (mm 3 ) : Cg: 263, Cs: 205, Pa: 1325, Pb: 3190, Pp: 2385, Po: 983. We computed the number of voxel of WMH in each ROI, and calculated percentage of voxel which have WMH in each ROI of each subject. (B) Cg Cs Pa Pb Pp Po (A) Pp Pa Cg Po Pb Cs

Statistical Analysis 1. Groups were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA) or Kruskal-Wallis test as appropriate according to the distribution of the data, with post hoc analysis. 2. Correlations were evaluated by Spearman’s ranks correlation test. 3. Results are expressed as mean values ± standard deviation. 4. A p value less than 0.05 was considered significant. 5. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS for Windows, version 12.0; SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL).

We believe the methods developed here conclusively show the difference of WMH distribution of each cognitive stage. These observations also support the notion of both a common ischemic etiology and Wallerian degeneration as a mechanism of WMH in each cognitive stage. Our study shows that measurements of the extent and distribution of WMH in both corpus callosum and periventricular area are suitable for assessment for NA, MCI and AD. Conclusion
