Could a routine brain scan reveal Alzheimer’s before it strikes? Scientists from NTU Singapore have uncovered a groundbreaking clue — clogged brain drainage spaces, visible on standard MRI scans, may predict Alzheimer’s disease before any major brain damage begins.<br /><br />These tiny structures, called perivascular spaces, help clear toxic waste from the brain. When blocked, they signal a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s — and now, doctors may be able to spot this danger early without extra tests or costs.<br /><br />This discovery is especially important for Asian populations, who are often underrepresented in dementia research. With nearly 1,000 participants studied, the findings could change how Alzheimer’s is diagnosed and treated across diverse communities.<br /><br />:eyes: Learn how your brain may be telling doctors what’s coming — before symptoms even begin.<br />WooGlobe Ref : WGA793569<br />For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
