Researchers studying a rare genetic condition tied to high psychosis risk have found that the brain’s waste-clearing plumbing, known as the glymphatic system, may function abnormally in people who ...

Impaired glymphatic function — the brain’s waste clearance system — could help explain how cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors may drive dementia. In a large UK Biobank study, MRI markers of ...

D-PAULM, a noninvasive imaging technique, tracked the brain’s glymphatic system and blood flow in real time, potentially ...
