Aging and brain health study in Tarrant County
This study looks at healthy aging by comparing memory and thinking in younger and older adults. If you join, you'll help researchers understand how aging affects the brain and may be part of a group that helps find ways to keep minds sharp as we get older.

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 looks at how aging affects memory and thinking. It uses brain scans, a spinal tap, and other tests to understand cognitive decline better.
This study is looking at how brain and memory changes show up in people across the Alzheimer’s spectrum—from normal thinking to mild memory problems to Alzheimer’s disease. You might join if you can do study visits and an MRI and have a reliable study partner available.
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 uses brain imaging (MRI) and controlled stimulation to understand how normal aging and stress affect memory and thinking, including how people navigate. It may help researchers learn what changes in the brain happen over time and with stress.
This study uses a special brain scan (amyloid PET) to look at brain changes in healthy older adults. It may help researchers learn more about aging and memory loss.
