Summary

This study uses a new ultra-high-resolution PET scanner to take detailed pictures of the brain and spinal cord in 300 healthy volunteers and people with conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, and psychotic disorders. The goal is to understand how small brain regions change with age and disease, which could help doctors diagnose these conditions earlier. Participants will have brain scans and complete memory, mood, and movement tests.
