Researchers at USC have created the first method to noninvasively measure microscopic blood vessel pulses in the human brain. Using advanced 7T MRI, they found these tiny pulsations grow stronger with ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3. The brain-immune-vascular interface has now been recognized as a fundamental component of brain physiology and in diseases. Vascular ...

Blood vessels are more than just pathways for oxygen and nutrients; they also host communicative processes that guide brain ...

Signs of injury to the brain's white matter called white matter hyperintensities, as seen on brain scans, may be tied more strongly to vascular risk factors, brain shrinkage, and other markers of ...

Researchers at the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a brain imaging technique that reveals how tiny blood ...

Researchers at the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a groundbreaking brain imaging technique that reveals ...

The venous system maintains the health of our brains by removing deoxygenated blood and other waste products, but its complexity and variability have made scientific study difficult. Now, a UC ...

The brain imaging method uses very high field 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), tracks how the brain's tiny blood vessels contracts and expands with each heartbeat. The study was led at the Mark ...

This system communicates between blood vessel cells and adjacent brain inflammatory cells, termed microglia. In vascular dementia, the CD39 (an enzyme) and the adenosine A3 receptor (A3AR) are ...
