- The UCLA Alzheimer's Prevention Project: Volunteers in this 12-week study, which looks at whether lifestyle habits can forestall Alzheimer's disease, will receive two hours of supervised exercise per week, one hour of cognitive training, and one hour of stress management education and social support. They will also meet with a dietitian to plan an eating program.
- The Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's (A4) study: This three-year clinical trial for older adults with normal memory who have evidence of amyloid plaque buildup in the brain is designed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of an investigational drug that researchers hope can postpone Alzheimer's onset. Participants must have a study partner—someone who has weekly contact with the participant and is willing to answer questions once a year. Though the study is no longer accepting new participants, you can learn about other Alzheimer's disease trials at the USC Alzheimer's Therapeutic Research Institute.
- Neuroscape (Gazzaley Lab) at the University of California, San Francisco: This lab, which frequently enrolls local participants for studies, uses tools like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore how the brain operates, with a focus on attention and memory.
