The Cognitive Resilience Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Alzheimer Disease

In brief

The purpose of this study is to test whether two new cognitive "stress tests" may help distinguish between people at lower or higher genetic risk of Alzheimer's Disease. The investigators are trying to understand how these cognitive "stress tests" work in people who have not been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and are not exhibiting symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease. Study subjects will undergo testing of memory and executive function during functional magnetic resonance image (fMRI) of the brain and also during a walking test.
