abstract = {Brain vascular health appears to be critical for preventing
the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and
slowing its progression. ALS patients often demonstrate
cardiovascular risk factors and commonly suffer from
cerebrovascular disease, with evidence of pathological
alterations in their small cerebral blood vessels. Impaired
vascular brain health has detrimental effects on motor
neurons: vascular endothelial growth factor levels are
lowered in ALS, which can compromise endothelial cell
formation and the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.
Increased turnover of neurovascular unit cells precedes
their senescence, which, together with pericyte alterations,
further fosters the failure of toxic metabolite removal. We
here provide a comprehensive overview of the pathogenesis of
impaired brain vascular health in ALS and how novel magnetic
resonance imaging techniques can aid its detection. In
particular, we discuss vascular patterns of blood supply to
the motor cortex with the number of branches from the
anterior and middle cerebral arteries acting as a novel
marker of resistance and resilience against downstream
effects of vascular risk and events in ALS. We outline how
certain interventions adapted to patient needs and
capabilities have the potential to mechanistically target
the brain microvasculature towards favorable motor cortex
blood supply patterns. Through this strategy, we aim to
guide novel approaches to ALS management and a better
understanding of ALS pathophysiology.},
