MRI study of iron buildup in normal aging
This study uses special MRI scans to measure how iron builds up in the brain as people age. It may help researchers understand what iron changes mean for healthy (non-disease) aging.

This study uses powerful MRI scans to understand how the brain ages and why some people stay healthy while others develop neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's. It compares healthy volunteers to people with certain conditions, and all participants get a detailed brain MRI.
This study uses MRI to measure electrical properties in the body and see how they change with age. It may help researchers better understand normal aging and develop future medical imaging techniques.
This study develops new MRI (body imaging) research methods to help aging research. You may qualify if you’re an adult who can consent and follow study steps, and your participation supports exploratory (not diagnostic) aging-related research.
This study aims to improve MRI scan settings used when studying brain diseases that affect memory and movement. You would be asked to undergo MRI scanning as a healthy volunteer to help optimize the imaging process.
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 at how “iron rims” in brain MRI scans change over time in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers understand MS activity better and how iron changes relate to disease progression.
