miR-342-5p/AnkG Pathway in Early AD Synaptic Dysfunction
Alzheimer's disease is the most common memory loss disease among the elderly. This disease affects the patient's memory, language, attention, and behavioral abilities. Current research has found that in the early stages of the disease, synaptic connections between brain nerve cells become abnormal, but the specific cause is still unclear. …
Blood-based Biomarkers for Diagnosis of Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease (AD) may currently be diagnosed using molecular biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or positron emission tomography (PET). These diagnostic procedures are highly accurate, but the high cost and low availability hamper their feasibility. Recently, ultrasensitive blood tests predicting Alzheimer pathologies in the brain have been developed. These tests …
Positive Psychology for Early Cognitive Decline: Effects on Cognitive and Brain Function
This randomized study tests whether a new multicomponent Positive Psychology program can improve cognition and wellbeing in older adults at the earliest stages of dementia-related decline. About 128 participants with Subjective Cognitive Decline or Mild Cognitive Impairment will be enrolled. Half will be randomized to the Positive Psychology program and …
Clinical Trial on Agitation in Alzheimer's Dementia
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the oral medication IGC-AD1, a THC-based (Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol) formulation administered twice a day on Agitation in patients with mild to severe dementia from Alzheimer's.
The Role of the Locus Coeruleus in Age-related Distractibility
A growing body of research has highlighted the importance of frontal regions, at both the functional and structural levels, in age-related declines in attentional and cognitive processing. However, the underlying neurobiological pathophysiological changes in the brain that contribute to these declines are still largely unclear. The objective of this proposal …
Chronic Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease by Gamma Light and Sound Therapy
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by significant memory loss, toxic protein deposits amyloid and tau) in the brain, and changes in the gamma frequency band on EEG. The investigator's lab found that boosting gamma waves in AD mouse models using light and sound stimulation at 40Hz not only reduced amyloid …
MR Evaluation of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Dynamics
The Researchers are trying to test a MR imaging method for detection of Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) flow in the brain to help diagnosis and better understand diseases that affect brain function.
Gamma Light and Sound Stimulation to Prevent Dementia in Cognitively Normal People At Risk for Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by significant memory loss, toxic protein deposits (amyloid and tau) in the brain, and changes in the gamma frequency band on EEG. Gamma waves are important for memory, and in patients with AD, there are fewer gamma waves in the brain. The Tsai lab found …
A Study of LY4006895 in Healthy Participants With Early Symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the study drug known as LY4006895. Part A will administer a single-ascending dose in healthy participants or Part B will administer multiple-ascending doses in participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Blood tests will be performed …
Sleep Trial to Prevent Alzheimer's Disease
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with the sleep aid suvorexant can decrease the rate of amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation in the brain.
