Uses alcohol plus MRI to measure brain fluid flow
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a small amount of alcohol and an MRI scan to measure how fluid moves in the brain. It helps researchers understand brain fluid flow in people without brain or alcohol-related health problems.

This study helps create and test simple tasks that measure brain function and movement in people with different backgrounds. It may help researchers better understand how the brain and body work, which can improve future alcohol-related treatments.
This study uses a treatment called TMS to see how it affects attention (how you focus and process information). You may be placed in a group based on how often you drink alcohol, and your eligibility depends on safety checks for MRI and TMS.
This study looks at whether alcohol use disorder affects the cerebellum, a part of the brain involved in movement and balance. It may help researchers understand brain impacts and guide better treatments.
This study looks at how a ketone supplement and alcohol affect your brain's metabolism. You will be asked to visit the lab, have an MRI, and possibly take the supplement or drink alcohol.
This study collects natural history information and brain imaging (MRI) using an imaging instrument to compare people with alcohol use disorder and people without. It may help researchers understand how brain imaging works in real-world participants and how it relates to alcohol-related health.
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at a protein called PDE4B in people with alcohol use disorder. The goal is to better understand how alcohol affects the brain, which may lead to new treatments.
