Description
He and five co-authors review deranged brain networks in COPD patients with cognitive impairment, in work from 2025. Thinking problems are a common side effect of the lung disease, yet reviews had not tied them to brain network measures. The synthesis runs from symptoms through mechanisms and scan findings to candidate treatments, along a lung-brain axis.
Chronic low oxygen, inflammation and oxidative stress are cast as the main drivers of network damage. Deficits centre on executive function and visuospatial skill, with odd links between the default mode and visual networks. Long-term oxygen, anti-inflammatory care and cognitive rehabilitation each show some benefit, the authors report.
