Neuroimaging of Inflammation in MemoRy and Other Disorders (NIMROD)
The NIMROD study aims to understand the role of inflammation in several forms of dementia, memory loss, and depression. The study recruited 145 participants in a sample of participants over 50 years of age in England, United Kingdom.
