Absence or low individual and public risk
Mixed cortical and subcortical vascular dementia - what does this mean
Mixed cortical and subcortical vascular dementia is caused by a combination of reduced blood flow to both the cortex (outer layer) and subcortex (inner layer) of the brain. this reduced blood flow can lead to a decrease in brain function, including memory, language, problem solving, and motor skills.
What happens during the disease - mixed cortical and subcortical vascular dementia
Mixed cortical and subcortical vascular dementia is a form of dementia caused by multiple small strokes, which damage the small blood vessels in the brain. this damage disrupts the blood supply to the brain, leading to the death of neurons and the destruction of neural pathways, resulting in the cognitive and behavioral symptoms associated with dementia. in addition, the damage to the brain's vascular system can lead to an accumulation of fluid in the brain, which can further impair the functioning of the brain.
