Abstract

As the early stage of dementia, vascular cognitive impairment no dementia (VCI-ND) has become a hot research topic in recent years. The effective identification of VCI-ND has important clinical significance for prevention and decreasing of dementia. This article reviews the advances in research on neuropsychology, neuroimaging, biological markers, as well as the prevention and treatment of VCI-ND.
