About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to learn about neuroimage and biomarkers in the cerebral small vessel disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* How does neurovascular coupling change during the progression of CSVD? * How is the pattern/mapping of alterations in CSVD biomarkers? Participants will be observed and visit the research center annually to perform multi-modal MRI, PET, neuropsychological tests, and blood tests.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥18 years.
