Auditory temporal processing in healthy aging: a magnetoencephalographic study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:White matter hyperintensities (WMH) can lead to dementia but the underlying physiological mechanisms are unclear. We compared relative oscillatory power from electroencephalographic studies (EEGs) of 17 patients with subcortical ischemic vascular dementia, based on extensive white matter hyperintensities (SI...
