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 observes older adults (65+) who have had a recent head injury to understand how they recover over time. It may help improve care for seniors with brain trauma.
This study tests a brain training method called neurofeedback to help older patients avoid confusion or memory problems after major surgery. It may help you recover more clearly after your operation.
This study looks at older adults admitted to a special hospital unit for brain and blood vessel issues (neurovascular care). It aims to understand what factors are linked to losing independence, which may help improve care and support for future patients.
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 well older adults think and remember before and after surgery to see if any changes are linked to complications after surgery. It may help doctors understand and reduce post-surgery confusion or memory problems.
