Brain atrophy and cognition: interaction with cerebrovascular pathology?

Reads0

TLDR
Patients with cerebrovascular pathology on MRI may be more vulnerable to impairment in executive functioning related to global as well as focal brain atrophy, according to the findings of the SMART-MR study.

Hypertension and longitudinal changes in cerebral blood flow: The SMART-MR study

TL;DR: Cerebral hypoperfusion is among the mechanisms that may explain the association of high blood pressure (BP) with dementia, however, few data are available on the longitudinal association of hypertension and cerebral perfusion.

Cerebral Small Vessel Disease.

TL;DR: The pathophysiology, clinical aspects, neuroimaging, progress of research to treat and prevent CSVD and current treatment of this disease are discussed.

Brain atrophy accelerates cognitive decline in cerebral small vessel disease: the LADIS study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the independent contributions and combined interactions of medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA), cortical and subcortical atrophy, and white matter lesion (WML) volume in longitudinal cognitive performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

The concept of sporadic cerebral small vessel disease: A road map on key definitions and current concepts.

TL;DR: Modern neuroimaging has revolutionized the authors' understanding of the consequences of small vessels disease on the brain parenchyma, even though small arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and venules are difficult to be directly visualized with current techniques used in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular Imaging abnormalities and cognition: Mediation by cortical volume in nondemented individuals: Atherosclerosis risk in communities-neurocognitive study

TL;DR: Both WMH and infarcts were associated with cortical volume, and both lesions were also associated with cognitive performance, implying shared pathophysiological mechanisms, which suggest that WMH could be proxies for clinically covert processes that directly damage cortical regions.

Longitudinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies of Older Adults: A Shrinking Brain

TL;DR: MRI scans of 92 nondemented older adults in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging provide essential information on the rate and regional pattern of age-associated changes against which pathology can be evaluated and suggest slower rates of brain atrophy in individuals who remain medically and cognitively healthy.

Pathogenesis of Leukoaraiosis A Review

TL;DR: A significant number of clues support the hypothesis that some types of leukoaraiosis may be the result of ischemic injury to the brain and this hypothesis could be tested in appropriate experimental models.
