First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study uses MRI to watch how the brain responds to a salt solution in adults aged 40-60 with and without salt-sensitive high blood pressure. Participants receive a short salt infusion and may also take a blocker of a salt-sensing channel. The goal is to identify brain regions that detect salt and understand why some people's blood pressure rises with salt intake.
