New MRI technique reveals brain pulse changes linked to Alzheimer's

sciencedaily.com

Scientists have developed a new method to measure microscopic blood vessel pulses in the brain, potentially predicting Alzheimer's. The technique uses advanced MRI to detect stronger pulsations with age and vascular risk, which may disrupt the brain's waste-clearing systems and contribute to cognitive decline. This discovery offers a new way to study brain health and could lead to early diagnosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative disorders.
