Lumbar puncture is essential to study cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, especially for #Alzheimer’s research in pre-clinical stages. 🧠💧
But post-lumbar puncture headache (PDPH) is a common side effect that can discourage participation.

At the BBRC neuroimaging research group, led by Dr. @gsalvado.bsky.social, we study how the brain changes years before Alzheimer’s develops 🧠
By combining neuroimaging with genetic and cognitive data, we look for clues to anticipate and prevent the disease.
