Locomotion Adaptation Deficits in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimers Disease
In people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD), reduced capacity for locomotor adaptation is a fundamental but poorly understood mechanism that can be a sensitive biomarker of cognitive-motor impairments. It is also an important therapeutic target for exercise-based interventions to improve walking function. The overall goal of …
Characterizing Variability in Hearing Aid Outcomes in Among Older Adults With Alzheimer's Dementia
This current translational project, funded by NIH, aims to better understand the impact of various signal modification strategies for older adults with Alzheimer's dementia and its potential precursor, known as amnestic mild cognitive impairment. The investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia represent an extreme case of restricted cognitive ability, …
Paper-Based and Smartphone-Based Memory Supports
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias lead to marked declines in daily functioning, independence, and quality of life. One of the earliest cognitive changes in these conditions is impairment in prospective memory, or the ability to remember future intentions such as taking medications at a given time. Prior intervention studies that …
Olfactory Biopsies
This research study aims to investigate the function of the olfactory lining in the nasal cavity and its potential alterations in both healthy and diseased conditions. The olfactory lining is involved in the sense of smell. The purpose of this study is to collect tissue from the nasal cavity.
Exercise to Improve Brain Health in Older African Americans
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of different types of exercise on brain health and Alzheimer's risk in older African Americans. Specifically, the main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: What is the effect of a Cardio-Dance Fitness (CDF) vs. a Strength, Flexibility, and Balance …
PET Brain Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease, and Other Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Diseases
The specific aims of the study are: Primary: To determine the presence and regional distribution of microglial activation, as assessed by Fluorine-18 (18F) labeled "Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor 06" (PBR06) -PET, in subjects with active Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS), and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) as compared …
Music for Pain and Dementia
This study aims to provide mechanistic insights into how group drumming as a music-based intervention (MBI) affects pain responses and nociceptive function in individuals with Alzheimer's Disease (AD), mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and brain activity will be measured during communal …
LEvetiracetam to Prevent Seizures in Symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease in Adults With Down Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether levetiracetam can prevent epileptic seizures in patients with Alzheimer's disease associated with Down syndrome. It will also analyze whether it can delay the neurodegeneration associated with this disease. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will …
A Study to Assess the Effects of ACI-24.060 in Alzheimer's Disease and in Down Syndrome (ABATE Study)
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacodynamic effects of ACI-24.060 in subjects with prodromal Alzheimer's disease and in non-demented adults with Down syndrome.
Molecular and Structural Imaging in Alzheimer's Disease: A Longitudinal Study
This is a neuroimaging study designed to learn more about amyloid and tau burden in the brain of patients with typical and atypical Alzheimer's Disease and how burden may change over a one year period.
