This study looks at how daily stress, sleep changes, and the hormone estrogen affect blood vessel health in women aged 40-55 who are still having periods. Researchers will measure blood vessel function and track stress and sleep patterns. No treatment is given—the goal is to bett…

This study looks at how short-term pain, created with a capsaicin heat patch, changes the way older adults (ages 55-90) learn and remember new walking patterns. Researchers will measure how well participants adjust their step symmetry on a split-belt treadmill and whether they re…

This study looks at how potassium from food affects blood vessel health in people who eat a lot of salt. Researchers will measure blood vessel function in 90 healthy adults with normal blood pressure. The goal is to understand if potassium can protect blood vessels from the negat…

This study looks at how mild cognitive impairment (MCI) affects the brain's ability to quickly make decisions and move. Researchers will track hand movements and brain changes in 60 adults aged 45-90, including those with MCI and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find early sign…

This study looks at how reacting strongly to daily stress might harm blood vessel function in working-age adults, and whether depression makes this worse. Researchers will measure stress responses and blood vessel health in 18 adults, some with depression and some without. No tre…

This study uses MRI to watch how the brain responds to a salt solution in adults aged 40-60 with and without salt-sensitive high blood pressure. Participants receive a short salt infusion and may also take a blocker of a salt-sensing channel. The goal is to identify brain regions…
