How memory loss affects learning new things
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with memory loss (amnesia) from brain injuries learn new information. It uses MRI scans to understand the brain's learning process, which may help develop better support for memory challenges.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have lived in France for less than 20 years and can speak and understand French
- You have a brain injury affecting both sides of your memory centers (medial temporal lobe or extended hippocampal system)
- You are willing to have an MRI and can do so safely (no metal implants, pacemaker, or severe claustrophobia)
- You are willing to learn about any unexpected findings from the MRI

This study uses a special MRI scan to look at the brain's memory center in people with early memory concerns. It aims to better understand changes that happen in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
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 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 uses memory and thinking tests along with brain scans (likely MRI) to understand how different types of brain damage affect thinking. It may help doctors learn more about brain-related cognitive problems.
This trial studies memory abilities in people who are unconscious due to a brain injury. It compares unconscious patients, conscious patients in intensive care, and people who have recovered consciousness after being unconscious. Participation involves memory testing and may help us understand how the brain recovers.
This study looks at how people of different ages learn and remember new information. You will do memory tasks to help researchers understand how memory changes over a lifetime.
