Small vessel disease is characterized by stochastic occlusions of small vessels in the brain microvasculature. This results in impaired blood flow, increased blood-brain barrier permeability and neuronal cell death. While small vessel disease is the leading cause of vascular dementia, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive, limiting treatment options. Visual stimulation at specific frequencies can enhance neuronal activity, leading to remodelling of the cerebrovascular architecture. Specifically, evoked gamma oscillations through stimulation at 40Hz has been shown to rescue motor and cogniti
