Impaired Retinal Vasoreactivity: An Early Marker of Stroke Risk in Diabetes [PDF]
Diabetes is a common cause of small vessel disease leading to stroke and vascular dementia. While the function and structure of large cerebral vessels can be easily studied, the brain’s microvasculature remains difficult to assess.

Retinal vascular changes in persons with cerebral small vessel disease
The retinal and cerebral microvasculature share many morphological and physiological properties, Hence, it is thought that studying these retinal vessels will provide a direct measure to evaluate the vascular and neuronal status of the brain.

Gene-mapping study of extremes of cerebral small vessel disease reveals TRIM47 as a strong candidate
Cerebral small vessel disease is a leading cause of stroke and a major contributor to cognitive decline and dementia, but our understanding of specific genes underlying the cause of sporadic cerebral small vessel disease is limited.

Age-Related Changes in Processing Speed: Unique Contributions of Cerebellar and Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]
Age-related declines in processing speed are hypothesized to underlie the widespread changes in cognition experienced by older adults. We used a structural covariance approach to identify putative neural networks that underlie age-related structural ...

Bi-allelic NIT1 variants cause a brain small vessel disease characterized by movement disorders, massively dilated perivascular spaces, and intracerebral hemorrhage [PDF]
Purpose: To describe a recessively inherited cerebral small vessel disease, caused by loss-of-function variants in Nitrilase1 (NIT1). Methods:We performed exome sequencing, brain magnetic resonance imaging, neuropathology, electron microscopy, western ...

Cardiovascular co-morbidities, inflammation and cerebral small vessel disease.
Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is the most common cause of vascular cognitive impairment and affects all levels of the brain's vasculature. Features include diverse structural and functional changes affecting small arteries and capillaries that ...

Cerebral small vessel disease and Alzheimer’s disease
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a group of pathological processes with multifarious etiology and pathogenesis that are involved into the small arteries, arterioles, venules, and capillaries of the brain. CSVD mainly contains lacunar infarct or lacunar stroke, leukoaraiosis, Binswanger's disease, and cerebral microbleeds.

Genetic considerations in cerebral small vessel diseases
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) encompasses a broad clinical spectrum united by pathology of the small vessels of the brain. CSVD is commonly identified using brain magnetic resonance imaging with well characterized markers including covert infarcts, white matter hyperintensities, enlarged perivascular spaces, and cerebral microbleeds.

Relation between physical activity and cerebral small vessel disease: A nine-year prospective cohort study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Given the unexplored potential of physical activity to reduce the progression of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD, the purpose of this study was to prospectively (across nine-year follow-up) examine the relation between (baseline)
