Currently Enrolling Studies
MADRC Projects
The U-M Memory and Aging Project (UM-MAP) (HUM 00000382) is a long-term observational study on memory, aging and dementia. It is MADRC’s largest and longest-running study.
Brain Imaging Projects 2 & 3(HUM 00002020, HUM00002202) are PET imaging studies. Project Summary (please link to PDF attached)
MADRC Supported Projects
A multi-center trial to evaluate home-based assessment (link to brochure) methods for Alzheimer’s disease prevention research in people over 75 years old (HUM 00014329) – an observational study aimed to develop more efficient and sensitive home based testing methods for elderly subjects who could potentially develop memory problems and Alzheimer's disease. The study will evaluate cognitively healthy older adults using one of three different in-home assessment methods to serve as a comparison with traditional in-clinic trial assessment.
Feasibility of an adapted Tai Chi home training program and its effects on elders with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers – a study that is testing the feasibility of a caregiver assisted Tai Chi fall risk reduction program and exploring its effects on older adults with Alzheimer’s disease and their family caregivers.
Nonlinear dynamical analysis of EEG and biomarkers of dementia(HUM 00005484) – a study to see whether persons with different types of dementia have different patterns of brain activity measured by an EEG than persons of the same age and gender who have normal cognitive function.
Patterns of brain activation with impaired emotion facial perception in depression and related psychological and neurological disorders (HUM 2002-0431) - a study of the cognitive and neurobiological sequelae of depression across the age range. The goal is to increase understanding of the interactions among cognitive, endocrine, and neural mechanisms during depression, and how these relationships might change as people age.
A multi-site, cross-sectional, non-treatment, perspective trial to collect bio-fluids and neuropsychiatric data from cognitively normal elderly subjects (HUM 00007819) - study run in conjunction with Pfizer, Inc. Blood and urine samples and memory test results are collected from healthy older adults to be compared with samples and tests collected from people who have Alzheimer's disease.
