Purpose: to better understand how a mild traumatic brain injury in late life relates to inflammation, markers of Alzheimer’s disease related proteins, and clinical functioning over time
Timeline: two study visits over the course of one year (a baseline and a one year follow-up visit)
Key Eligibility Criteria: age 65+ years old, in good general health, have NOT been diagnosed with a memory disorder, have had a concussion within the past 5 years
Purpose: to examine how inflammation and COVID-19 exposure influences brain health. Data gathered from this study will be used to better understand how inflammation may or may not disrupt thinking and memory.
Timeline: two study visits over the course of two years
Key Eligibility Criteria: age 60+ years old, in good general health, have NOT been diagnosed with a memory disorder, willing to undergo 2 lumbar punctures over the course of the study
Purpose: to continue to obtain information from people with and without Parkinson’s disease (PD) so that researchers may better understand how PD progresses, in order to inform better treatments
Key Eligibility Criteria: have NOT been diagnosed with PD, do NOT have a first degree relative with PD, age: 30+ years old OR have NOT been diagnosed with PD, have a first degree relative with PD, age: 60+ years old
Purpose: to learn more about the level of inflammatory and other markers in the blood of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), essential tremor (ET), and healthy volunteers
Timeline: one time blood draw
Key Eligibility Criteria: have NOT been diagnosed with PD or HT, age: 60-75 years old
