Description:
This Neuroscience Grand Rounds will explore the complex landscape of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), offering a deep dive into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms that drive cognitive decline in cerebrovascular disease. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the clinical spectrum of VCI, from subtle cognitive changes to full-blown vascular dementia and learn to distinguish between its subtypes based on etiological origins.
