Fields in red are required. We will send you more information on the study you selected. The purpose of this study is to learn how Alzheimer's disease affects our ability to pay attention to things in the environment. Healthy individuals and those with more than usual memory loss may participate in various tests that measure different aspects of functioning. Inclusion in the study is based on strict research criteria and is determined by a physician.
Participation is strictly voluntary and free of any costs.
We hope that all those who volunteer will remain involved long-term. We encourage brain donations from each of our volunteers after their death, because examination of brain tissue is essential for better understanding of the disease and the aging process. One or two tests usually are scheduled per visit, each testing session lasting about two to four hours. Most participants will repeat this standard set of tests every 12 months with a brief follow-up phone call every six months. Interview and physical examination of the research volunteer.
