Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a common disease that seriously endangers people’s health, and is easily overlooked by both patients and clinicians due to its near-silent onset. Dynamic functional connectivity (DFC) is a new concept focusing on the dynamic features and patterns of brain networks that represents a powerful tool for gaining novel insight into neurological diseases. To assess alterations in DFC in CSVD pa...

Kidney and brain expressed protein (KIBRA) rs17070145 is associated with working memory function and cognitive processes. However, the neural mechanisms underlying these associations are not fully understood. This study aimed to explore the effect of KIBRA polymorphism on brain microstructure and blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) fluctuations using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and resting-state functional magnetic r...
