Researchers are studying how the brain changes over time in older adults by using special imaging scans called PET scans. These scans can detect a buildup of amyloid, a protein that may be linked to memory problems and Alzheimer's disease. By following people over many years and comparing their brain scans, the study hopes to find early warning signs that could help doctors predict who will develop memory loss in the future.
Scientists want to understand why some older people develop memory problems and Alzheimer's disease while others stay mentally sharp, even when their brains show similar changes. Finding these early warning signs could help doctors identify and treat people before serious memory loss happens.

As a participant, you would have brain imaging scans performed during your regular visits to the study. The main scan uses a tracer injection followed by a PET imaging scan to measure amyloid in your brain. This is a long-term study, meaning you would be followed over many years with repeat scans to track how your brain changes. The study is observational, so you're not taking any medication — researchers are simply monitoring your brain health through imaging and cognitive assessments.
