Description

Laya Ashouri uses ultra sharp 7-Tesla brain scans to study tiny bleeds in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, in this sole author 2025 paper. The bleeds, called microbleeds, mark small vessel disease and are usually blamed on damage to small arteries. A scan method that maps magnetic properties of tissue can show veins and bleeds together at very fine detail.

Two brain imaging specialists read the scans and matched each bleed across two image types. The method could show bleeds sitting directly against a small vein. That finding supports the idea that veins, not only arteries, play a part in these bleeds. Understanding vein damage could open new angles on the vessel disease that often travels with Alzheimer's.
