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.

Principal Investigator's Name: Laszlo Zaborszky
Institution: Rutgers University
Department: Center for Molecular and Beavioral Neuroscience

Proposed Analysis: We are interested to see if basal forebrain volume show changes in MCI and AD as compared to healthy adults that in correlation with neuropsychological test results and other biomarkers would predict MCI converters. We will extract BF volumes using VBM, ROI as well as probabilistic maps (Zaborszky et al., NeuroIamge, 42(3) 1127-1141) generated for specific BF subvolumes.
Additional Investigators  
Investigator's Name: Babak Ardekani
Proposed Analysis: We are interested to see if basal forebrain volume show changes in MCI and AD as compared to healthy adults that in correlation with neuropsychological test results and other biomarkers would predict MCI converters. We will process the raw T1 images and extract BF volumes using VBM, ROI as well as probabilistic maps (Zaborszky et al., NeuroIamge, 42(3) 1127-1141) generated for specific BF subvolumes.
