A bibliometric analysis of cerebral microbleeds and cognitive impairment

CONCLUSION: This bibliometric analysis reveals a strong link between CMBs and cognitive impairment-related diseases and that specific brain networks were affected by CMBs. This provides further insights into the possible mechanisms and causes of CMBs and cognitive impairment. The direct and indirect damage (such as oxidative stress and neuroinflammation) to the brain caused by CMBs, destruction of the frontal-subcortical circuits, elevated Cystatin C levels, and iron deposition are involved in the occurrence and development of cognitive impairment. CMBs may be a potential marker for detecting, quantifying, and predicting cognitive impairment.PMID:37262941 | DOI:10.1016/j.bandc.2023.105999
