We are looking for healthy women to participate in a study investigating pressure around the brain. It's known as "Idiopathic [unknown reason] Intracranial [inside the skull] Hypertension [pressure]", and it mainly affects overweight women of child-bearing age. We would like to find out whether or not memory and thinking processes are affected in this condition.

We're looking for healthy body mass index (BMI) matched control participants to undergo cognitive testing.
