-
Brain and metabolic responses to different macronutrients in people with obesity
This trial will test whether three small, isocaloric liquid meals (glucose, fat, or protein) change brain activity and blood metabolites in adults with obesity and healthy-weight adults.
-
Antegrade versus retrograde brain perfusion during low-moderate hypothermia for aortic hemi-arch surgery
We will test whether giving blood to the brain in an antegrade versus a retrograde way better prevents confusion, delirium, or other thinking problems after elective proximal aortic reconstruction with hemi-arch replacement in adults.
-
Evaluating brain function and psychological effects of cell therapy in autoimmune hemolytic anemia
This study is testing how CAR T-cell therapy affects thinking and mental health in people with autoimmune hemolytic anemia to help improve their treatment and quality of life.
-
Whole-brain activity during a natural menstrual cycle versus an ovarian stimulation cycle
This research will test whether hormonal changes from ovarian stimulation change resting brain activity in healthy young women with regular cycles.
-
Exploring brain function in action observation for patients with cerebral palsy
This study is trying to see how the brains of people with cerebral palsy work when they watch actions, using advanced MRI scans to better understand their brain connections and how it relates to their condition.
-
Impact of early intervention on child development in foster care vs. institutional care
This study is testing whether young children in foster care develop better than those in enhanced institutional care to see which option helps them grow up healthier.
