The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is seeking adult participants aged 60 and older to participate in a research study investigating relationships between cognition, fitness, and neuroinflammation. It requires a time commitment of approximately two weeks.
Adults aged 60 and older with NO diagnosis of significant neurological disease who can have an MRI and are on stable medications for at least four (4) weeks can participate. The study visits will include a screening visit, cognitive testing, a fitness test, a sleep study, and a brain MRI. This is a great study for care partners and loved ones of Parkinson's to contribute to a control study that will help us learn more about potential cognitive treatment options.
This study is being sponsored by the UAB Center for Exercise Medicine, UAB Hypertension Research Center, and UAB McKnight Brain Institute and Research Foundation. It is a voluntary study to determine the relationships between thinking/memory and brain function, heart rate changes, fitness, and sleep. It requires a commitment of approximately two weeks completing a minimum of five visits, one of which includes an overnight sleep study.
The study will include several visits where UAB will perform a physical exam, neurological exam, review of your medical history, overnight oxygen monitoring at the home via a finger sensor, a MRI scan of your head, memory/thinking questionnaires, a fitness test, and an overnight sleep study at UAB.
Investigators hope that this study will provide information that will lead to improved cognition in older adults. To learn more about the study and access the Consent Form, Click Below:

Good Morning!! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven't won the Lotto I've been playing for so long, I haven't been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now…
I battled Multiple Sclerosis for 6 years, trying countless conventional treatments without success. My younger brother also suffered from Parkinson’s disease for 9 years. Doctors told us there was no cure for either condition. Everything changed when we discovered Dr. Madida Sam through www.earthcureherbalclinic.com. With the help of Dr. Sam, his team, and co-doctors, both my MS and my brother’s Parkinson’s symptoms were completely reversed and cured. We are truly grateful to EarthCure Herbal Clinic for giving us our lives back.
