Research study mapping the brain at UW

*Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technology that allows us to take pictures of deep tissues in the  body. 

WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE: 

18 years or older, and diagnosed with a life limiting illness 

Interested in donating their brain to science 

Fluent in English 

Live within a 3-hour drive from Seattle

It is important that our human brain map  represents people from as many different  cultural and racial backgrounds as possible to  discover future treatments and hope for all  of us.

IF YOU AGREE TO BE IN THIS STUDY, YOU WILL  JOIN US FOR TWO VISITS: 

Visit 1 will be a screening visit. It will last about an hour and can happen in your home if you prefer. You will undergo a short physical exam and memory testing. 

Visit 2 will be the MRI scan and must occur within 3 months after Visit 1. This MRI scan will only involve taking pictures as you play some games in the MRI scanner. No injections are needed for the scan. 

YOU MAY BE EXCLUDED FROM THIS STUDY IF: 

You have a neurological disorder (e.g., stroke, seizure, neurodegenerative 

disease), subject to physician  investigator discretion. 

You are unable to undergo brain MRI (e.g., you are claustrophobic or unable to lay on your back for an hour, or you have an implant that cannot be near a strong magnet)
