We are excited to inform you that we have launched Special Issue: Cerebrovascular System and Neurodegenerative Diseases. Hoping that your high-quality research outcomes will help us build Human Brain into benchmarks in the field.

With the rapid aging of the global population, disorders affecting brain health have become a major public health challenge. Although cerebrovascular diseases and neurodegenerative disorders have traditionally been regarded as distinct clinical entities, increasing evidence indicates that vascular pathology and neurodegeneration frequently coexist and interact. Cerebral small vessel disease is now recognized as an active contributor to neurodegenerative processes rather than a passive substrate for cognitive impairment. We therefore invite reviews and original articles focusing on the cerebrovascular system and neurodegenerative diseases, including human clinical, biomarker, neuroimaging, and translational studies that explore underlying mechanisms and disease consequences, with particular emphasis on cerebral small vessel disease, dementia-related disorders, and emerging approaches for early detection and intervention in brain aging.
