New research on mice has shed light on how high blood pressure causes changes to arteries in the brain, a process that leads to vascular dementia. The research, led by University of Manchester ...

People with shorter protective caps at the end of their chromosomes (called telomeres) may be more likely to develop age-related brain diseases such as stroke, dementia and late-life depression ...

If vascular dementia is suspected, you should be referred to a specialist for further neurological testing and a CT or MRI brain scan. The answer here can seem bleak. Drugs for Alzheimer’s are ...
