Dysfunction of the neurovascular coupling unit may be an important contributor to dementia.
The neurovascular coupling unit comprises neuronal structures (eg astrocytes) and vascular …

Background Two main genetic risks for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) are a family
history and ɛ4 allele of apolipoprotein E. The brain and retina are part of the central nervous …

Purpose To examine the associations of alcohol consumption with glaucoma and related
traits, to assess whether a genetic predisposition to glaucoma modified these associations …

Since the retina shares its embryological origin with the central nervous system, optical
coherence tomography (OCT), an imaging technique frequently employed in ophthalmology …

The rise of non‐invasive, rapid, and widely accessible quantitative high‐resolution imaging
methods, such as modern retinal photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) …

The retina, an anatomical extension of the brain, forms physiological connections with the
visual cortex of the brain. Although retinal structures offer a unique opportunity to assess …

We examined the relationship between genetic risk for schizophrenia (SZ), using polygenic
risk scores (PRSs), and retinal morphological alterations. Retinal structural and vascular …

Given the anatomical and functional similarities between the retina and the brain, the retina
could be a “window” for viewing brain structures. We investigated the association between …

Background The retina and brain share a similar embryologic origin, blood barriers, and
microvasculature features. Thus, retinal imaging has been of interest in the aging population …

Background Retinal structural abnormalities have been found to serve as biomarkers for
cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the association between retinal nerve fiber layer …
