In this episode, we delve into groundbreaking research exploring the role of plasma neurofilament light (NfL) as a biomarker for neurodegeneration and its relationship with white matter hyperintensities (WMH). Using advanced imaging techniques and statistical modeling, this study highlights how WMH mediates the link between NfL levels and neurodegeneration, offering insights into the vascular contributions to brain atrophy in non-demented older adults.
Join us as we discuss the implications of these findings for early interventions, small vessel disease, and the future of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in brain health. Discover how this research is shaping our understanding of the intricate interplay between vascular pathology and neurodegeneration in aging.
Tune in to explore the cutting edge of brain aging research!
