Brain scans suggest poorer fluid clearance in older adults

A cross-sectional study of 30 healthy adults linked older age to brain scan measures suggesting impaired fluid clearance and altered barrier function.A cross-sectional study of 30 healthy adults linked older age to brain scan measures suggesting impaired fluid clearance and altered barrier function.
