Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zhihong Ke"
- Zhihong Ke's recent research primarily focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms linking white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) to cognitive decline and other psychological conditions, particularly in the context of Alzheimer's disease and cerebral small vessel disease.
- Key findings from various studies reveal that altered brain connectivity patterns—both functional and morphological—are associated with cognitive impairment and anxiety in individuals with WMHs, emphasizing the importance of understanding interregional relationships of local brain iron and cerebrovascular reactivity.
- Additionally, Ke explores therapeutic interventions such as neuro-navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), showcasing its potential in improving cognitive functions and sleep patterns in Alzheimer's patients, thus providing insights into the management of comorbid symptoms in neurodegenerative disorders.
