Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Genomics of perivascular space burden unravels early mechanisms of cerebral small vessel disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Nature medicine 2023-04-17 Genetics

    Perivascular space (PVS) burden is an emerging, poorly understood, magnetic resonance imaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease, a leading cause of stroke and dementia.

  2. The association of enlarged perivascular space with microglia-related inflammation and Alzheimer's pathology in cognitively normal elderly

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2022-05-14 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Impaired glymphatic dysfunction could contribute to the accumulation of pathological tau protein.

  3. Association of enlarged perivascular spaces with Aβ and tau deposition in cognitively normal older population

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2020-12-19 Brain scans and imaging

    The relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-visible enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) and Aβ and tau deposition is poorly investigated in cognitively normal older population.

  4. MRI-visible perivascular space location is associated with Alzheimer's disease independently of amyloid burden

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2017-04-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Their location may relate to the type of underlying small vessel pathology: those in the white matter centrum semi-ovale have been associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy, while those in the basal ganglia have been associated with deep perforating artery arteriolosclerosis.
