This study follows people with memory or thinking problems over time to learn more about how these conditions progress. It's an observational study, meaning no new treatments are tested—just information is collected from your regular care.
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
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 enrolls adults with Down syndrome to better understand how thinking and memory develop and change over time. It may help by building a “trial-ready” group and by measuring thinking in a careful, consistent way.
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.
This study looks at brain health and wellness programs for people aged 50 and older. It may help you stay mentally sharp and active.
