MEMORY DISORDERS

This study tests whether smartphone usage patterns can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease and memory problems. Researchers will track how 90 people with different levels of memory loss use their phones for three months. The goal is to see if phone data can serve as a simple, non-i…

This study tests whether a program of nutrition education, physical activity, and at-home cognitive training can help prevent memory decline in adults aged 55 to 85 who are at higher risk for dementia. Over 120 participants will follow a Mediterranean diet-focused plan and attend…

This study tests a home-based program called HOBSCOTCH-MS for people with multiple sclerosis who have memory or thinking problems. Participants meet virtually with a coach for 8 weekly sessions to learn problem-solving and relaxation techniques. The goal is to see if the program …

This study tests a home-based program called HOBSCOTCH-CA to help brain cancer survivors improve their memory, thinking, and quality of life. About 125 participants will take part in virtual coaching sessions over 6 months, learning problem-solving and relaxation techniques. The …

This study is gathering data from 1,200 older adults (ages 60-90) who are either cognitively normal, have mild memory problems, or have mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's. Researchers will collect blood samples, digital measurements (like from apps or devices), and brain scans to see i…

This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose Alzheimer's disease by testing a new memory assessment tool. Researchers will enroll 150 adults aged 50 and older with mild memory problems. The tool focuses on personal and emotional aspects of memory, which current tests often mis…

This study aims to understand how the brain recognizes and remembers places, which is often impaired in people with temporal lobe epilepsy. Researchers will use a virtual tour task and brain recordings (EEG, intracranial EEG) in 620 participants, including epilepsy surgery patien…

This study looks at how a drug called scopolamine changes brain activity related to memory. Researchers will test 60 adults with epilepsy who are already having brain surgery for seizure monitoring. Participants will do memory tasks after receiving either the drug or a saltwater …

This study looks at brain activity in 100 adults with epilepsy who already have electrodes implanted in their brains for medical reasons. Researchers will record brain signals while participants answer questionnaires about depression, anxiety, and other symptoms, and while they p…

This study is developing a practical memory test for adults aged 70 and older. Researchers will compare test results between people with memory disorders (like Alzheimer's) and healthy seniors. The goal is to create a better tool for assessing everyday memory skills.
