Heart-brain interactions, including cardiac-induced brain pulsatility, are thought to support brain homeostasis, yet their alteration with aging and neurodegeneration remains poorly understood. Here, we used three-dimensional quantitative amplified MRI (q-aMRI) to visualize and quantify cardiac-induced pulsatile brain motion across healthy individuals and those on the Alzheimers and Lewy body disease spectra. Expert evaluations revealed consistent distinctions between normal and abnormal motion ...
