81 - Cerebrovascular changes in Alzheimer's Disease Part 1: September 2020

Elyn is back to cover the latest findings relating to the cerebrovasculature in Alzheimer disease! In this two part episode covering papers from September 2020, you’ll hear about how aging and systemic inflammation can influence the blood-brain barrier, how circulating “good cholesterol” can protect the blood vessels and may be dysfunctional in AD, and a whole lot about cerebral small vessel disease.
