Multiple Sclerosis would be my first guess.  Be sure to ask the neurologist if this is a possibility or not.

Changes in white matter can happen with aging and with micro-ischemic changes I think.  But if you have at least four of these white patches, you might have multiple sclerosis.  Please see private message for more info on this.
