Test-Retest Brain Imaging Study

Posted to the HDL: 17 May 2006


Test-Retest Brain Imaging Study

Dr Adam Aron

Los Angeles area people who are gene-positive for Huntington’s disease, yet currently presymptomatic, are wanted for a test-retest brain imaging study. Must be between 18 and 55 years old, right-handed, competent English speaker. The study involves a 1.5 hour MRI scan on two occasions (separated by one year). Volunteers must visit UCLA for a screening session in advance of MRI participation. Volunteers will earn $20 per hour for their participation. For further information contact Dr Adam Aron at (310) 206-4379 and mention the “test-retest study” or send email to: study@poldracklab.org with ‘test-retest study’ in the subject line.
