560. Brain Functional Reconfiguration And Cognitive Impairment in Adult Moyamoya Disease: a Resting-state FMRI Study

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Lei Yu from Huashan Hospital is awarded the International Abstract Award for his presentation on "Brain Functional Reconfiguration and Cognitive Impairment in Adult Moyamoya Disease." The study aims to understand the cognitive impairment in Moyamoya disease through the study of brain function and cognitive impairment. They used graph theory and cognitive neuroscience techniques to explore the underlying mechanisms of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) in Moyamoya disease. The study found that both the static and dynamic properties of brain networks were affected in adult Moyamoya disease, suggesting a comprehensive deterioration of functional flexibility. The study also identified key regions and networks responsible for VCI in Moyamoya disease. The study acknowledges the limitations of being a cross-sectional small-sample study, but highlights the importance of preventing and treating VCI in Moyamoya disease, considering its impact on disability and financial burden. The video ends with a brief introduction to Huashan Hospital and its department of neurosurgery.
