Biological Predictors for Memory
The main objective of the project is to provide a better understanding of the brain correlates and determinants of change in memory function throughout life. The project follows almost 1,000 participants with longitudinal cognitive and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. Baseline MRI was administered between 2011 and 2016, and follow-up MRI between 2015 and 2018. The fifth wave of data collection was finished in the beginning of 2024, yielding up to five examinations.
