 Help Us Learn How the Brain Controls Hunger

Help Us Learn How the Brain Controls Hunger

All genders
Phase 1
Interventional
Are you interested in how your brain affects how you feel hungry?  Join us and help make a difference in weight and health research.The Division of Endocrinology and Department of Neurology at Indiana University School of Medicine and Purdue University are doing a study to learn more about how the brain responds to hunger in people with different body types.  We will compare two groups: people with a lower BMI (18–24.9) and people with a higher BMI (30 or above).This is a non-treatment study. That means no medicine will be given. We simply want to see how different areas of the brain respond to hunger and fullness. This may help researchers develop better treatments to manage appetite in the future.You may qualify to take part if you are 18-60 years of age with normal weight or  have obesity.

Joshua Brown

Accepts healthy volunteer
All genders
This study is testing a new, non-invasive method of brain stimulation called temporal interference (TI). TI uses very small electrical currents non-invasively applied through the scalp to see whether deeper brain areas can be safely and effectively influenced. We are studying how TI affects brain activity, measured with MRI, and how it may change attention, decision-making, and responses to simple tasks. You may qualify for this study if you:Are between the ages of 18 and 50Weigh less than 440 poundsHave at least a 6th grade educationSpeak and read EnglishCan pass an MRI safety screening test
 Engaging your Brain for Memory Function

Engaging your Brain for Memory Function

Accepts healthy volunteer
All genders
Join Us and Take Part in Brain Activity Research at Indiana University!Your brain is always working—helping you think, remember, and make decisions. This study is looking at how different parts of the brain work together.We are also studying a safe, non-invasive method called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see how it may change brain activity. TMS uses magnetic pulses on the outside of the head—no surgery or implants are involved.TMS is an investigational research tool. This means it is still being studied and is not approved by the FDA. Your participation will help researchers learn more about how the brain works and how we can better understand thinking and memory.

Functional Assessment in Liver Transplantation (FrAILT) Study; Functional Assessment in Liver Transplant Candidates (FrAILT) Study

All genders
Observational
This will be a prospective cohort study of patients with liver disease. Subjects will undergo geriatric assessments of frailty, functional status, and disability using functional status measures at baseline and at every clinic visit in the pre-transplant setting. Subjects will also answer questions regarding quality of life, personality, and/or cognitive function. Subjects will again undergo assessments at every clinic visit through 12 months after transplant. Then, they will be followed annually. THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY
