The brain’s silent janitor: A clogged cleaning system may predict dementia a decade early
A new study identifies three MRI-based biomarkers linked to the brain’s waste-clearing “glymphatic system” that can predict dementia risk up to a decade in advance. Impaired glymphatic function, often driven by cardiovascular risk factors like high blood pressure, prevents the brain from clearing toxic proteins, increasing dementia risk. The findings provide a biological explanation for […]
