The impact of COVID-19 on cognitive and neuropathological processes leading to Parkinson’s Dementia and other Alzheimer’s Disease Related Dementias (ADRD)
Our objective is to understand potential factors, such as COVID-19, that influence the development and/or progression of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders. We will engage previous, ongoing, and future Translational Brain Research Center (TBRC) research participants to obtain information regarding exposure, current clinical and functional status, motor/cognitive daily activities, and COVID-19 history.
Participants will be asked to complete several forms, questionnaires, a motor exam, a scratch-and-sniff smell test, undergo optional neuropsychological testing, undergo optional (EMA) mobile phone remote data collection, and complete optional MRI and biosample collection. Also, a subset of subjects with and without history of COVID-19 infection will be invited for an in-person visit to obtain multimodal structural and functional MRI data, and biosamples.
