White matter refers to areas of the [[central nervous system]] (CNS) that are mainly made up of myelinated axons, through which messages pass. == In human disease == === ME/CFS === === Mastocytosis === === Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome === In 2016, a study done in France with 59 EDS patients found 36 (61%) had lesions in the white matter of their brain, potentially indicative of physical trauma. If the physical trauma happened before age 18, patient had more lesions of the reticular formation. The study authors used their findings to theorize that physical trauma could bring an onset of EDS. <ref>{{Cite journal | last =Hamonet | first = Claude | last2 = Frédy | first2 = Daniel | last3 = Lefèvre | first3 = Jérémie H. | last4 = Bourgeois-Gironde | first4 = Sacha | last5 = Zeitoun | first5 = Jean-David| date = 2016-04-22 | title = Brain injury unmasking Ehlers-Danlos syndromes after trauma: the fiber print|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27102338|journal=Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases|volume=11|pages=45|doi=10.1186/s13023-016-0428-9|issn=1750-1172|pmc=4840856|pmid=27102338}}</ref> == See also == == Learn more == == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Neurology]] [[Category:Central nervous system]]
