Biobank and Brain Health in Bordeaux.
B cube is a new generation cohort to study the determinants and natural history of brain aging, using molecular epidemiology, in a representative sample (N=2000) of the general population from the age of 55 (the approximate age of onset of the first cognitive disorders and a target population particularly receptive …
Brain Health in Breast Cancer Survivors
Endocrine therapy (ET) is widely used to treat hormone receptor positive breast cancer and prevent recurrence by downregulating estrogen function. However, ETs readily cross the blood brain barrier and interfere with the action of estrogen in the brain. Estrogen supports cognition and menopausal status is closely linked to cognitive health …
University of Pittsburgh Brain Health Initiative
This project will define the prevalence of brain health (i.e., normal cognitive, neuromotor, behavioral function) in living professional football retirees and group-matched controls through a comprehensive assessment of clinical, neuroimaging, and biomarker measures.
Brain Health and Exercise in Schizophrenia
To determine the effects of aerobic exercise on hippocampal volumes and severity of psychotic symptoms in a population of psychosis patients compared to healthy age/gender matched volunteers. Psychosis patients often suffer from a number of cognitive difficulties, including poor memory function, poor problem-solving capacity and difficulties with attention and concentration. …
Respiratory Support and Brain Health in Preterm Infants
Premature babies often require breathing support during their neonatal intensive care unit stay. This is because their lungs are not fully developed to perform the work of breathing on their own. Although breathing support can be provided via a breathing tube, it is preferable to provide breathing support non-invasively from …
Physical Activity, Sleep and Brain Health Based on the Glymphatic System
This study is aiming to analyze the impact of physical activity on neurohydrodynamics and glymphatic activity on young adults. This study is designed as a multicenter descriptive observational study with information collection at two different times: before performing a short exercise routine and during its performance using a wearable wireless …
The Link Between Physical Activity and Brain Health in Healthy Adults
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the cross-sectional relationship between physical activity and brain health from a multiscale approach (neuropsychology, neuroimaging, peripheral biomarkers and genetics) in former athletes and sedentary individuals. The main question it aims to answer is: Do former athletes have better brain structure than …
Chronic Impacts of Endocrine Therapy on Cardiovascular and Brain Health Outcomes in Breast Cancer
Aromatase inhibitors are the most used endocrine therapy for hormone-positive breast cancer. Despite the evidence that aromatase inhibitor therapy is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, potentially related to the duration of use, no studies have been conducted to characterize the long-term effects of aromatase inhibitor therapy on the …
Short-term Impacts of Endocrine Therapy on Cardiovascular and Brain Health Outcomes in Breast Cancer
Aromatase inhibitors are the most used endocrine therapy for hormone-positive breast cancer. While there is a clear linear relationship between the duration of aromatase inhibitor use and the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular events and mortality, the underlying mechanisms contributing to this risk remain unknown. This study will characterize the short-term …
A Longitudinal Study to Explore the Impact of Gut Microbiome on Brain Health in Alzheimer's Disease
Gut microbiota dysfunction is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the potential modulatory mechanism remains unclear. Previous studies have shown that gut-derived metabolites short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) may be the key mediators between gut microbiota and brain, participating in the modulatory pathway "gut microbiota-SCFAs-brain networks". In this project, high-throughput targeted …
