Brain Connectivity Patterns Link Vascular Disease to Cognitive Decline

Researchers have identified how cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) disrupts brain connectivity, contributing to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration alongside Alzheimer’s disease (AD). By studying brain networks and blood biomarkers in older adults, they discovered distinct but additive effects of CeVD and AD-related markers on cognition and brain atrophy.
