Imaging in Brain Waste Removal Technique May Lead to Alzheimer’s Diagnostic

According to research published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, an innovative means to image the brain’s glymphatic pathway – a process that clears waste from the brain that might otherwise lead to the development of Alzheimer’s disease – may lay the groundwork for a new way to evaluate the disease’s susceptibility. Through tools like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a team at Stony Brook University mapped the brain-wide pathway and identified key routes to rid the brain of waste.
