The projects aims to map brain changes in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) by combining different assesment modalities.
In the MRI, researchers will get the opportunity to analyse both structural and functional brain changes. In the EEG, changes in elctrical activites will be measured. The blood samples allow researchers to analyse specific dementia and inflammation proteins, while fecal speciments can be used to assess bacterial composition. Additionally, the cognitive testing allow to assess the specific part of cognitive function which is affected.
