Vascular dementia in leukoaraiosis may be a consequence of capillary loss not only in the lesions, but in normal-appearing white matter and cortex as well
We investigated capillary density in 12 subjects with leukoaraiosis (LA), in 9 age-matched
normal subjects, in 7 cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and 4 after whole-brain irradiation …
