Ongoing Investigations

ADNI data is made available to researchers around the world. As such, there are many active research projects accessing and applying the shared ADNI data. To further encourage Alzheimer’s disease research collaboration, and to help prevent duplicate efforts, the list below shows the specific research focus of the active ADNI investigations. This information is requested annually as a requirement for data access.

Proposed Analysis: Comparison of Tau PET binding in AD with Tau PET binding in a separate traumatic brain injury cohort. The processing of the TBI PET images is to follow the same procedure as that used in the ADNI cohort. Subsequently I will also investigate different rates of atrophy between TBI and AD using T1 MRI images using Freesurfer and see if the atrophy is specific to voxels with higher Tau PET binding.
