Endothelin-1 mediated vasoconstriction leads to memory impairment and synaptic dysfunction

Abstract Cerebrovascular lesions seen as white matter hyperintensity in MRI of elderly population caused due to micro-infracts and micro-bleeds contributes to vascular dementia. Such vascular insult caused by impairment in blood flow to specific area in brain involving small vessels can gradually wo...
