Healthy Brain Project Study

Project Information:

The Healthy Brain Project is funded by the National Institutes of Health. This study tests links between sociocultural experiences, brain aging, and cognitive health. Study participants who have completed the Detroit Aging and Memory Project (D-AMP) study are invited to visit the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor campus.

The project director is Toni Antonucci, Ph.D.

Project Significance:

We are interested in learning how the brain ages and the ways in which behavioral, demographic, social and cultural factors link to brain health. This study will collect information from an MRI scan of the brain and proteins found in the blood. The data will be combined with information collected from the D-AMP study to help achieve this goal.

Participation in this study:

Those who have completed the Detroit Aging and Memory Project (D-AMP) study are invited to visit the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor campus and donate a small blood sample and undergo a structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The information collected from the MRI and certain proteins in the blood to the data collection from the D-AMP study. Participation in this study is completely voluntary.

Interview Information:

All appointments will be held at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor campus. Blood collections will take place at the Michigan Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and the MRI scan will take place at the Michigan Functional MRI Laboratory. The appointment should take approximately 2 hours. 

Confidentiality:

Research records will be kept in a separate research file that does not include names, registration numbers, or other information that is likely to allow someone other than the researchers to link the information to you.
