ABSTRACT
The neurovascular unit consists of neurons, glial cells and cerebral blood vessels. Each eomponent synergistically regulates vasomotion and maintains the blood-brain barrier function to maintain the microenvironment homeostasis and ensure normal brain function. Cognitive impairment, especially in the advanced stage of dementia, places heavy economic and mental burdens on society and families. From the perspective of holistic view, this article expounds the role of neurovascular dysfuntion in the two major causes of cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer's disease and vascular cognitive impairment, and aims to provide possible clues for early prevention and treatment of these diseases.
