Selective PET Imaging of Astrocytes and Microglia in Alzheimer's Disease
Inflammation occurs in many brain diseases including Alzheimer's disease. In Alzheimer's disease, an abnormal protein called amyloid starts accumulating decades before the start of forgetfulness. However, scientists have reported that inflammation but not amyloid is linked to forgetfulness and the topography of brain inflammation and tau buildup are closely correlated …
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 …
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 …
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.
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.
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 …
Efficacy and Safety of Dimethyl Fumarate Among Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Due to Alzheimer's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the degree of improvement in cognitive functions, including memory, attention, thinking, executive and language functions in diagnosed patients MCI and AD taking dimethyl fumarate 480 mg daily compared to patients taking placebo. Participant will be 55 to 90 years old, both …
Links Between Cognitive Deficits During Normal or Pathological Aging and Slow Waves Measured in EEG
With age, memory processes (encoding, consolidation and retrieval) as well as daytime vigilance are altered. Sleep is also impaired in older adults, notably slow waves that are known to play a key role in memory consolidation. Interestingly, some slow waves can also be detected in EEG recordings during wakefulness, and …
Neurocognitive Assessment Platform 4 Alzheimer
The aging population in Europe is leading to an increase in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is expected to affect 152 million people worldwide by 2050. In Italy, there are approximately 1.2 million cases of dementia, with 600,000 attributed to AD. Given the limited effectiveness of current …
