It was great to present our most recent work on the link between the waste clearance systems of the eye and the brain at the EURON PhD days in Lille! And an honor to be awarded the third prize for best oral presentation!👀🧠

DTI-ALPS is a commonly used MRI marker for glymphatic dysfunction, but can it distinguish contributions of perivascular diffusivity and axonal degeneration? Gerald Drenthen and I wrote an editorial on this topic for JMRI: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jm…

Great to be a part of the organisation and a speaker for the #OHBM2024 educational course on ‘Current insights into physiologic signals to measure body-brain interactions in neuroimaging’! Amazing to see the interest of the OHBM community in CSF/waste clearance imaging!

📢Excited to share our latest paper!📢 While most studies focused on animals, we explore the link between the eye and brain waste clearance systems in humans.👀🧠 Check it out: van der Thiel, van de Sande et al., in Neurobiology of Disease: doi.org/10.1016/j.nbd.…

I am grateful to be asked to present at the Dutch Dementia Research Conference today!💜 Here, I shared how our findings with 7T MRI show that cerebral small vessel changes correlate with cognitive decline in patients with presumed Alzheimer’s disease—but not in healthy aging.🧠

Great to talk about measuring pulsatility of small cerebral vessels with 7T and its link to cognition at the High field session of ISMRM yesterday!🌺 #ismrm2025
