Imagine stopping the progression
of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Maya Angelou - the eminent poet,
author, educator, historian and professor at Wake Forest
University - is working with researchers to ask you and
your loved ones to participate in a major brain imaging
study: the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative Grand
Opportunity (ADNI GO). ADNI GO will build on the unprecedented
momentum and success of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging
Initiative (ADNI), a landmark study to find more sensitive
and accurate methods to detect Alzheimer's disease (AD)
at earlier stages and trace its progress through biomarkers.
By
being able to recognize changes in the brain, scientists
hope to treat memory loss and other symptoms of AD before
they appear - but the only way to recognize what these
changes are and learn about who is at risk is through
the participation of volunteers. For more information,
