Brain Disease, Brain Mapping
PET Imaging in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
Background: Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a brain disease caused in part by head injury. The brain changes from CTE can only be seen at autopsy.
- Trial name

- Volunteers
- 6 people, healthy volunteers welcome
- Sponsor
- National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
Brain Mapping
Regional Rates of Cerebral Protein Synthesis: Effects of Sleep and Memory Consolidation
Background: The brain needs sleep to function normally, but the purpose of sleep is not understood. Brain activity decreases during sleep, so it may be that sleep is important to maintain, repair, or reorganize brain cells.
- Trial name
- NCT00884702
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 538 people, healthy volunteers welcome
- Sponsor

Brain Mapping, Intracranial Central Nervous System Disorder
Connectivity Analysis for Investigation of Auditory Impairment in Epilepsy
Background: People with epilepsy often have auditory processing disorders that affect their ability to hear clearly and may cause problems with understanding speech and other kinds of verbal communication.
