This study investigates how memory processing changes with aging by using brain imaging, genetic biomarkers, cognitive and sensory testing, and behavior ratings. The purpose is to understand how these factors relate to changes in memory as people get older.
Participants will undergo various procedures, including a physical and neurological exam, blood sample donation, memory tests, and brain imaging. These procedures help researchers gather comprehensive data on how aging affects the brain.
