Exploring the relationship between brain metabolism and waste clearance

Description 
The brain's waste clearance system, the glymphatic system, is essential for maintaining a healthy neuronal environment and homeostasis. Metabolism, as measured by FDG-PET imaging, is a widely used marker of brain tissue health in epilpesy and oncology. In this project, we will investigate the interrelationship between metabolism and glymphatics.
