The patient or their close relatives can understand and voluntarily sign the informed consent form and cooperate with related examinations. Control Group 1. No lacunes, microbleeds, or EPVS on baseline imaging; may include mild white matter lesions recommended as vascular in origin (Fazekas grade 0 or 1) and age-appropriate brain atrophy; 2. The patient or their close relatives can understand and voluntarily sign the informed consent form and cooperate with related examinations.
