Social and emotional thinking in Alzheimer's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how Alzheimer's disease and similar conditions affect social and emotional thinking. Researchers will use brain scans and questionnaires to understand these changes better.

This study evaluates a test battery (ExéSem) that helps doctors understand how executive functions (like planning and problem-solving) contribute to language and meaning disorders. Participants will complete cognitive tasks, and the results may help improve diagnosis and care for people with certain memory or language conditions.
This study looks at how people with thinking, memory, mood, or behavior problems fare over time. It may help doctors understand these conditions better and improve care.
This study explores how awareness of oneself and the ability to understand others' thoughts relates to two types of brain diseases: frontotemporal dementia (a disease affecting personality and behavior) and Alzheimer's disease. The research may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care.
This study looks at how “slower movement” and brain changes relate to memory and thinking problems in people with early dementia (and some related conditions). It may help researchers understand what brain differences go with these symptoms, using tests and an MRI scan.
This trial checks a new kind of paper-and-pen (or computer-based) test to better measure thinking and social/behavior skills in people with certain brain diseases. It may help researchers improve how these skills are tracked and understood over time.
This extension study looks for predictors—measurable clues—linked to memory changes in older adults who feel their memory is worsening. You may be asked to have an amyloid PET scan, which can help researchers understand what might be driving memory concerns.
