Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed the first noninvasive method to capture the rhythmic pulsing of the brain's tiniest blood vessels. Using advanced 7T MRI, they found these pulses strengthen with age and hypertension, potentially disrupting waste clearance and contributing to Alzheimer's disease. The findings, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, could lead to new biomarkers for neurodegenerative conditions.
