Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a disease caused by the deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in cerebral blood vessels. It is common not only in the elderly and almost all patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) but can also occur independently of other AD-related pathologies. The presence and severity of CAA promote the progression of AD-related cl...
Neurohackademy: Combining Online and Offline Neurological Informatics Education Background Introduction In recent years, human neuroscience has entered an era of big data.
