One of the major problems with finding cures for all Neurological and Brain Disorders is finding enough volunteers for research studies. 80% of studies are delayed because too few people sign up
They need volunteers who don't have any problems and those who already do.
They need all age groups, you don't need to be a senior to qualify.
...
I registered and was contacted to participate in a study where every 3 months I just submit any changes about my health, lifestyle, environment and play the mind games again (about 30 minutes) to track any changes in my cognitive abilities.
Super easy and they let me know the results and how it compares to last time which helps me monitor how my brain is doing to become aware of any changes!
This isn't just about Alzheimer's. Discoveries about one brain disorder also assist with finding prevention and cures for all Neurological and brain disorders such as Dementia, PTSD, Parkinson's, Stroke and many others.
The following paragraph I borrowed from https://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/H...qWJX3r1oR6vSalCmLhI5H3cuGNelKF9kHBs7_rDOYuqig
" Dr. Michael Weiner, has created a registry that uses online quizzes to identify potential volunteers.
I encourage you to consider getting involved in a study. In the United States, the National Institute on Aging has a great online tool that can find one near you; the United Kingdom’s National Health Service has a similar tool. Dr. Langbaum’s Alzheimer’s Prevention Registry and Dr. Weiner’s Brain Health Registry are also great resources."
