Summary

This study aims to understand brain changes in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will use MRI, EEG, cognitive tests, and blood and stool samples to find differences between healthy individuals and those with cognitive impairment. The goal is to identify biomarkers that could help predict who will develop Alzheimer's and improve diagnosis.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Multimodal assessment including MRI, EEG, polysomnography, blood and fecal sample analysis, and cognitive tests
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to earlier detection of Alzheimer's disease and more precise classification of the condition.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, so it won't directly test a treatment. The findings may not translate into a clinical test or change patient care.
