A study reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta - a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. While ageing leads to functional changes in the vasculature, brain trauma may exacerbate and accelerate these processes even in younger patients. Brain trauma usually impairs cerebral blood flow, possibly through pathological changes in …
A study reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta - a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Brain trauma usually impairs cerebral blood flow, possibly through pathological changes in the vascular smooth muscle cells in the vascular wall. "We were surprised to see that even young patients displayed this accumulation …
