Description
Banafsheh Shakibajahromi and co-authors link brain scans to thinking skills in a 2025 study of older adults. The group held 133 adults over age 50 whose thinking was still normal. Small vessel disease in the brain is a top cause of thinking loss tied to blood flow. Its early signs include weak planning skills and spots in white matter, the brain's wiring.
The team used a trail-making test to score planning skill. Scans measured blood flow and wiring health in white matter that still looked normal. They split the group by amyloid state, a protein sign tied to Alzheimer's disease. Risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes were counted in the math as well.
