  1. Tau pathology and relative cerebral blood flow are independently associated with cognition in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging 2020-05-27 Brain scans and imaging

    Tau pathology was associated with locally reduced rCBF.

  2. Cognitive training is an emerging non-pharmacological treatment to improve cognitive and physical function in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Glial Cell Calcium Signaling Mediates Capillary Regulation of Blood Flow in the Retina

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2016-09-01 Brain scans and imaging

    The results show that, independent of arterioles, capillaries actively dilate and regulate blood flow.

  4. In conjunction with the NILVAD trial, a European Multicentre Double-Blind Placebo Controlled trial of Nilvadipine in Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD), there are four NILVAD substudies in which eligible NILVAD patients are also invited to participate.

  5. Ocular Blood Flow and Normal Tension Glaucoma

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. BioMed research international 2015-10-19 Brain scans and imaging

    Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is known as a multifactorial optic neuropathy characterized by progressive retinal ganglion cell death and glaucomatous visual field loss, even though the intraocular pressure (IOP) does not exceed the normal range.

  6. Retinal blood flow in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2015-04-23 Brain scans and imaging

    Retinal blood flow in MCI is intermediate between what is measured in control subjects and in AD patients.

  7. Chronic reduction of cerebral blood flow in the adult rat: late-emerging CA1 cell loss and memory dysfunction

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research 1996-02-01 Biomarkers

    Ten-month-old rats were subjected to permanent bilateral occlusion of both common carotid arteries (2-VO) to chronically but moderately reduce brain blood flow. 2-VO impaired Morris water maze acquisition as soon as 7 days post-surgery. 2-VO also caused a later-appearing impairment on the radial arm maze which did not reach significance until 63 days post-surgery.
