Research grant awarded to study the impact of hippocampal vasculature on vascular cognitive impairment and dementia, focusing on hypertension-related vascular dysfunction and neurovascular coupling.
Description
This project investigates the role of hippocampal arterioles in cognitive decline associated with aging and hypertension, focusing on vascular dysfunction and neurovascular coupling. It aims to understand how hypertension-induced changes in hippocampal vasculature contribute to cognitive decline and dementia, with potential implications for therapeutic interventions.
