Aging is one of the major risk factors for white matter injury in cerebrovascular disease. However, the effects of age on the mechanisms of injury/repair in white matter remain to be fully elucidated. Here, we ask whether, compared with young brains, white matter regions in older brains may be more vulnerable in part because of decreased rates of compensatory oligodendrogenesis after injury.
