Dementia is an umbrella term for cognitive decline, while Alzheimer's is the most prevalent cause. Recognizing the ...

The DTI-ALPS biomarker relies on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure water movement along perivascular spaces, fluid-filled regions around the brain's blood vessels that are a key part of ...

Inflammation in brain blood vessels worsens damage in vascular dementia by disrupting signaling between vascular and inflammatory cells. Downregulation of the CD39/adenosine A 3 receptor pathway ...

One MRI scan can now reveal how quickly you're aging. Faster aging links to poor memory, chronic illness, and earlier death. The tool gives a warning decades before symptoms begin.

Regular use of strong opioids may significantly increase risk for all-cause and vascular dementia plus reduced brain volume and cognitive performance.

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is an incredible technique that was first used to scan patients in the 1970s and 1980s. It uses radio waves, giant magnets, and computational tools to visualize ...

Stroke (also called a "cerebrovascular accident," or CVA) is a disease of the blood vessels in and around the brain.It occurs when part of the brain does not receive enough blood to function ...

Using an AI tool, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have analysed brain images from 70-year-olds and estimated their brains’ biological age. They found that factors detrimental to vascular ...

Healthy blood vessels matter for more than just heart health. Vascular well-being is critical for brain health and potentially in addressing age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative ...

“Vascular brain injury disproportionately affects individuals who experience socioeconomic disadvantage,” the study authors noted, explaining that this damage has been directly linked to ...
