Severe head injuries can damage brain blood vessels, sometimes leading to aneurysm development. The trauma may not immediately cause an aneurysm but can create weaknesses that develop into one ...

Mild cognitive impairment is linked to blood vessel dysfunction in the brain's temporal lobes - the seat of memory - according to a new USC-led study. The findings, seen in people with and without ...

The brain and nervous system ... three-dimensional 3D structure of cerebral blood vessels, posing significant challenges for research and drug development. To address these limitations, the ...

A brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal tangle of unusually formed blood vessels in the brain (Figure 1). Over time, these vessels can weaken and bleed into the brain itself. Brain ...

With time, the vessel grows new branches into the brain thereby providing much needed blood flow. New blood vessel development typically takes three to six months but can continue to strengthen over ...

Research suggests that exercise might even help create new brain cells, a process called neurogenesis ... that impact the growth of new blood vessels in the brain, and even the abundance, survival ...

which are known to contribute to brain blood vessel damage in younger populations, not to be associated with an increased risk of such harm in individuals 90 and older. The work, published online ...
