Story summary

A groundbreaking study from the National University of Singapore reveals that cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) significantly disrupts brain connectivity, exacerbating cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The researchers found that both CeVD and AD markers independently influence cognition and brain shrinkage, suggesting that integrating neuroimaging with blood biomarkers could revolutionize early dementia detection and monitoring.
