Multimodal magnetic resonance imaging on brain structure and function changes in vascular cognitive impairment without dementia

Vascular cognitive impairment not dementia (VCIND) is one of the three subtypes of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), with cognitive dysfunction and symptoms ranging between normal cognitive function and vascular dementia. The specific mechanisms underlying VCIND are still not fully understood, an...

description Vascular cognitive impairment not dementia (VCIND) is one of the three subtypes of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), with cognitive dysfunction and symptoms ranging between normal cognitive function and vascular dementia. The specific mechanisms underlying VCIND are still not fully understood, and there is a lack of specific diagnostic markers in clinical practice. With the rapid development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, structural MRI (sMRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) have become effective methods for exploring the neurobiological mechanisms of VCIND and have made continuous progress. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the research progress in VCIND using multimodal MRI, including sMRI, diffusion tensor imaging, resting-state fMRI, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. By integrating findings from these multiple modalities, this study presents a novel perspective on the neuropathological mechanisms underlying VCIND. It not only highlights the importance of multimodal MRI in unraveling the complex nature of VCIND but also lays the foundation for future research examining the relationship between brain structure, function, and cognitive impairment in VCIND. These new perspectives and strategies ultimately hold the potential to contribute to the development of more effective diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions for VCIND.
