Memory training and brain changes in healthy young adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how training your working memory (the ability to hold and use information in your mind) affects brain activity. You would undergo MRI scans and do memory exercises to help researchers understand how the brain changes with practice, which may lead to better cognitive training methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how myelin (the insulation around brain cells) affects your ability to control and coordinate movements. It involves an MRI brain scan and may help scientists understand brain development in young people.
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.
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 looks at how your brain works when you use tools, using brain scans and questionnaires. It mainly seeks healthy adults who can safely do MRI and answer questions.
This study looks at how the brain stores and changes memories over time, using brain scans and a daily computer typing task. If you join, you will help researchers understand memory changes, which may lead to better ways to support memory health in the future.
