Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a common condition in patients with diffuse
hyperintensities of cerebral white matter (WM) in T2-weighted magnetic resonance images
and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). In MCI due to SVD, the most prominent feature of
cognitive impairment lies in degradation of executive functions, ie of processes which
supervise the organization and execution of complex behavior. The Trail Making Test (TMT)
