Why do microbleeds occur predominantly in cortical layers 4-5 while CAA affects layers 1-2?

OPEN

The study reveals a striking anatomical dissociation between microbleed locations (layers 4-5) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (layers 1-2), discounting CAA as the cause of MBs. The underlying vascular or cellular differences driving this layer-specific vulnerability are unknown.
