Individuals with Down syndrome are at risk for the development of Alzheimer's disease. This study seeks to explore if neurodegenerative biomarkers of this condition are present in childhood. In addition, this study will explore the possibility of these same biomarkers being present in children with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental conditions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a sensor that transmits intracranial pressure, cerebrospinal fluid flow, and makes sure the path of the catheter remains open.
This study uses sensitive measures of brain blood flow an its response to change to inhaled oxygen levels to determine how the brain protects its oxygen supply.
To determine the extent that subtle brain injury, blood flow to the brain, and learning problems relate to type of brain tumor treatment given.
The objective of this study is to learn how anemia may affect oxygen delivery to the brain as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By studying this, we hope to better identify people who may benefit from correction of their anemia.
The objective of this study is to better understand how a single ventricular heart with Fontan physiology may affect brain health.
A study to look at how having chronic anemia impacts the brain.
An investigation of the utility of non-invasive transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound in the prediction of moyamoya disease in persons with Down syndrome with the goal of identifying cerebrovascular disease before it causes a stroke.
The overall objective is to assess the influences that repeated head impact accelerative events (both impact and nonimpact) and concussions have on high school athletes as measured by brain structure and function, cognition, and behavior.
To investigate bone health in cerebral palsy and the relationship between walking and bone health.
