21. If you would like, you can contribute to studies on brain aging and disease without having to get your brain scanned, or even show up in person. Dr. Mike Weiner, a noted researcher at UCSF who leads the largest cohort study of Alzheimer’s disease worldwide, developed the online Brain Health Registry to help speed up recruitment for clinical trials and research studies. By joining the Brain Health Registry you answer questionnaires and take online cognitive tests. We are helping him study the effects of stress on brain aging. You can find the registry at http://www.brainhealthregistry.org/
