Research Subjects
Memory Studies
We are currently investigating the role of hormones (such as estrogen, testosterone, insulin and stress hormones) and memory in older adults. As people age, hormone systems become less efficient. We are exploring how age-related hormone loss affects thinking abilities and whether hormone replacement improves memory. We are recruiting adults at least 55 years old, with and without memory concerns. Currently, we cannot enroll persons with diabetes, or who are taking medications to enhance memory (Aricept) or to treat depression or serious psychiatric disorders. We provide free, comprehensive evaluations to those who have memory concerns and meet certain guidelines. For further information, please contact Karla Grimwood at 764-2809.
