Brain scans reveal how urea cycle disorder affects driving ability

NCT ID NCT07701694

First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study uses a brain imaging technique called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to observe brain activity in people with urea cycle disorder (UCD) while they perform driving tasks of varying difficulty. Researchers compare these brain patterns to those of healthy volunteers of the same age and sex. The goal is to understand how UCD affects cognitive and motor functions during a complex real-world activity like driving.
