- | Insight 46 is a neuroscience sub-study of the NSHD. Launched in 2015, Insight 46 recruited 502 study members selected at random from those who attended a clinical visit at 60–64 years and on whom relevant life course data are available. The study aims to investigate how life course factors and genetics influence the development of brain pathologies and impact on cognition, and so to provide insights into healthy brain ageing and the development of dementia. | ||
- | |||
- | For Insight 46, participants attended two clinic visits, two years apart. Each visit consists of a combination of brain imaging, biosampling and a clinical interview, including: | ||
- | |||
- | * Multi-modal MR imaging with concurrent acquisition of b-amyloid PET scanning. | ||
- | * A neurological examination including assessment of gait and parkinsonian signs | ||
- | * An enhanced cognitive assessment | ||
- | * Sensitive tests of vision, hearing and smell | ||
- | * Blood and urine sampling, and DNA collection | ||
- | |||
- | The second visit was extended to include an additional half day visit for more detailed cardiovascular testing and a lumbar puncture. | ||
- | |||
- | \\ \\ | ||
- | Combining these metrics with the extensive life course data already obtained from study members provides a unique opportunity to investigate the causes and consequences of various brain pathologies, | ||
