Home Alone: An Intervention for People With Cognitive Impairment Who Live Alone
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a program for adults who live alone and have some cognitive impairment (CI) to see if it is useful and acceptable. This program aims to help older adults with cognitive impairment who live alone to be engaged and active, as well …
Understanding Brain Mechanisms Involved in Autobiographical Memory
The overall objective of this project is to characterize the spatiotemporal dynamics of brain oscillations underpinning autobiographical memory (ABM) and the modulation of the memory network using non-invasive brain stimulation.
EPIC: An Intervention for Early-stage AD Dyads - Adapted for Virtual Delivery
EPIC II (Early-Stage Partners in Care) is a research project designed to assist people with early-stage memory loss and their care partners by providing early-stage related education and skill-training sessions, held via Zoom, designed to reduce stress, enhance well-being, manage challenges, and plan for the future. Researchers will gather feedback …
Improving Patient Memory for Treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment
The main empirical question to be addressed is: What types of memory support are most potent for patients who are experiencing a mild cognitive impairment (MCI) relative to non-MCI patients?
Diminishing Accelerated Long-term Forgetting in Mild Cognitive Impairment
This study is designed as a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized parallel-group study that will be completed at the clinical research facility at St. James' Hospital and at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. A total of 100 amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patients will receive a (real or control) non-invasive transcutaneous electrical …
Non-invasive Brain Stimulation for Cognitive and Motor Dysfunction in Dementia
This project aims to examine the efficacy of remote, caregiver-led tES/brain stimulation intervention targeted to improve memory, mobility, and executive functioning among older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia.
NIA_Improving Function and Well-being by Improving Patient Memory: Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Treatment
Mental illness is often chronic, severe, and difficult to treat. Though there has been significant progress towards establishing effective and efficient interventions for psychological health problems, many individuals do not gain lasting benefits from these treatments. The Memory Support Intervention (MSI) was developed utilizing existing findings from the cognitive science …
Neurobiological Mechanisms of Aging and Stress on Prospective Navigation
Two hallmarks of both healthy aging and age-related disease are 1) memory and navigational deficits, particularly in orienting towards goal locations and planning how to navigate to them, and 2) increased susceptibility to stress and altered regulation of the stress response. However, there are marked individual differences in these age-related …
Investigating the Neural Correlates of Cognitive Function in Psychosis Patients and Non-Psychiatric Controls With Cannabis Use
Cognitive impairment is well established in people with psychosis and is associated with cannabis use. The current study will investigate the neurobiological basis of cognitive change associated with 28-days of cannabis abstinence in people with psychosis and non-psychiatric controls with cannabis use. Participants will be randomized to a cannabis abstinent …
Enhancing Frontal Lobes Plasticity in Mild Cognitive Impairment
More than 5 million people live with Alzheimer's dementia (AD) in North America. No effective treatment exists yet probably because by the time AD has developed it is too late to intervene. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a clinical state that typically precedes AD. In MCI, the prefrontal cortex supports …
