Monash researchers have discovered both a unique signal within the brain's veins and how Multiple Sclerosis (MS) changes that venous rhythm.
The veins are poorly studied in comparison to the brain's arteries because it is arterial blood flow that is critical for providing oxygen to the brain and occlusion of these vessels leads to stroke. Therefore, it is not well understood how blood travels through the brain's veins on its way back to the heart.
