ALZHEIMERS NEWS-I REGISTERED MY BRAIN THIS MORNING
SO CAN YOU
when i had been in the adni2 or alzheimers disease neuroimaging study for awhile i got a nice letter from dr weiner from ucsf universtity of california san francisco thanking me for being a volunteer for this most important alzheimers research study ever done
he was the director of the study in the united states
now he along with several other well known researchers have set up a website called the brain health registry
it does two things
it provides a reservoir of much needed volunteer alzheimers research subjects across the united states
it allows folks to be in a long term alzheimers research study
the idea is too start monitoring folks now even if they are young starting at 18 years old and have no memory or neurological issues
they could sign up and be evaluated online every 6 months until they would need to be in a research study
the data on ones progress is collected over time
their goal is to accumulate 100,000 folks in their brain registry
i have tried similar things before but was rejected since i was in research studies
now
i am ok to be in this one
so
i signed up
i answered all the questions
i did all the memory tests
then
in 6 months i will repeat it until i decide to not do it any longer
if you are having a drop off of memory it will start to show on this brain registry updates
they are looking at alzheimers parkinsonism brain injury and other brain problems
its a way to do your part for alzheimers research through the privacy of your computer
if you would like to register your brain you have to be at least 18 years old
it took me about an hour to do it
i dont mind donating my time to this brain health registry if it helps the alzheimers cause
here is the link to the brain health registry so you can sign up to be followed long term
do your part to advance the research
