A new model of vascular dementia reveals hidden disease processes and raises urgent questions about the role of microplastics in brain health. Vascular dementia, a form of cognitive decline caused by disease in the brain’s small blood vessels, is common but has been studied less intensively than Alzheimer’s disease, which is marked by abnormal plaques and protein tangles in neural tissue. Bearer identified 10 different disease processes that contribute to vascular-based brain injury, typically by causing oxygen or nutrient deficiency, leakage of blood serum, and inflammation or decreased waste elimination
