Study of aging and a brain sample bank
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study follows adults as they age and may collect biological samples for future research. It could help researchers understand early and late changes related to aging and brain health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be age 45 or older
- If you are between 45 and 50, you must have a close family member with a neurodegenerative disease
- You must be willing to be part of a long-term aging study

This study follows adults as they age to learn how health and brain function change over time. You may help researchers understand early aging differences, using health checks and scans, and by sharing genetic samples.
This study supports Alzheimer’s research by collecting health and thinking (cognitive) test results and blood samples to study genetics and biomarkers. You may be enrolled if you’re age 40 or older and can do these checkups, even if you have mild memory problems or dementia.
This study collects blood samples to build a biobank and learn how brain health changes with age. Some participants may also do an MRI scan to better understand brain changes and immune response.
This study looks for brain/biological “signals” (biomarkers) that may identify Alzheimer’s disease earlier, including stages before clear symptoms. You may be followed for about 5 years, with repeated memory and thinking testing to see how these signs relate to future diagnosis.
This study follows adults 40+ to better understand and track changes in memory and thinking as people age. It groups people with normal thinking, subjective complaints, mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer’s, and vascular (blood vessel) related brain changes to find what predicts progression.
This study uses brain scans (MRI and EEG) to better understand Alzheimer's disease. It compares people with MCI or Alzheimer's to healthy volunteers to see how the disease affects the brain.
