Participants sought: Measuring oxidative stress in the brain

Participants sought for neurological study: See detail

We are seeking participants with no history of neurological illnesses to take part in our study investigating oxidative stress and neurodegeneration.

This project will use combined Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) brain scanning technology to measure oxidative stress in the brain and determine its relationship with measures of neurodegeneration.

The research will be undertaken at Monash Biomedical Imaging (770 Blackburn Rd, Clayton, VIC).

Participation involves:

• 1 hour brain scan, with an injection and low-level medical radiation similar to many common medical procedures
• blood sample
• brief cognitive tests

The total time should be 2.5-3hrs total at Monash Biomedical Imaging. Reimbursement of $50 will be provided.

You may be eligible to participate if you are:

• aged 40-65 years old
• have no history of neurological illnesses
