Project Overview

The objective of our project is to investigate if women with carotid stenosis (CAS) have impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation in different regions of their brain. Specifically, we hypothesize that women with more severe CAS will have greater impairments in their ability to maintain CBF during rapid reductions in…

Project Overview

The understanding of the factors responsible for the increased risk of cognitive problems in women remains limited. Determining the function of small vessel disease in maintaining brain health is crucial, particularly for women. As a result, we propose examining cognitive abilities as well as changes in the structure and volume…
