”FUNCTIONAL MRS TO PROBE COGNITIVE FUNCTIONING” 7T study
CIBM is seeking healthy volunteers (ages 18 – 35 or 70 – 80) to participate in a study examining the dynamics of neurotransmitters to better understand basic brain function.
We will use this information to better understand brain functions and cognition, and how they may be influenced by age. Studying age-related differences in neuronal metabolic responses to cognitive tasks is essential for developing targeted interventions to improve cognitive function.
Your participation will involve acquiring images and spectra of your brain in an MRI machine and filling in a few questionnaires.
