  • Cleaning in the Brain, Neuroimaging and Perivascular Spaces with Professor Farshid Sepherband

    Episode 3 of Brain Explained explores neuroimaging and blood supply, cleaning in the brain with Professor Farshid Sepherband from The University of Southern California. Why are spaces imaged in the brain and how are they linked to daily life and disease? Listen to find out. In Episode 3 we discuss his recent research into the neuroimaging of the clearance system and blood supply. We discuss his research, opportunities and as always there are a lot of interesting insights.
