Evidence supports cognition engages in GBD of CSVD. The cerebellum is important in motor and cognition, while little is known about the influence of the cerebellum on GBD in CSVD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study is a retrospective cohort study. All participants of this study were enrolled from the CSVD individuals in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from 2017 to 2021. The GBD of CSVD patients was defined as Tinetti Test score \u2264 23. Cerebral cortical thickness, cerebellar gray matter volume, the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation, functional connectivity, and modular interaction were calculated to determine the cortical atrophy and activity patterns of CSVD patients with GBD. The effect of cognitive domains during GBD in CSVD patients was explored by correlation analyses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 25 CSVD patients were recruited in CSVD patients with GBD group (Tinetti Test score \u2264 23, mean age \u00b1 standard deviation: 70.000 \u00b1 6.976 years), and 34 CSVD patients were recruited in CSVD patients without GBD group (Tinetti Test score &amp;gt; 23, mean age \u00b1 standard deviation: 64.029 \u00b1 9.453 years). CSVD patients with GBD displayed worse cognitive performance and cortical atrophy in the right cerebellum VIIIa and bilateral superior temporal gyrus than those without GBD. The right postcentral gyrus, left inferior temporal gyrus, right angular gyrus, right supramarginal gyrus and right middle frontal gyrus were functionally overactivated and showed decreased modular interaction with the right cerebellum. Tinetti Test scores were negatively related to the volume of the right cerebellum VIIIa in CSVD patients with GBD. Notably, memory, especially visuospatial memory, was greatly associated with GBD in CSVD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The cortical atrophy and altered functional activity in sensorimotor area and ventral attention network in the cerebellum and cerebrum may underlying the GBD in CSVD.
