Clinical Trial: MRI Study of Brain Activity in Healthy Adults and Individuals With Parkinsonism and Rapid Eye Movement Disorder.

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Statistical Mapping of the Brain in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Essential Tremor, Parkinson Disease, Parkinsonism, and REM Behavior Disorder

Brief Summary: This proposal is focused on developing a reliable, valid, and reproducible imaging techniques and statistical methodology for segregation of various forms of Parkinsonism from healthy adults without Parkinsonism.

Detailed Summary: This proposal is focused on developing a reliable, valid, and reproducible imaging techniques and statistical methodology for segregation of various forms of Parkinsonism from healthy adults without Parkinsonism. We focus on early diagnosis of Parkinsonism, other tremor disorders, and determine how imaging might be used to improve diagnosis. The purpose of this protocol is to gather a multi-modal dataset to explore and validate the investigator's previous research findings in prior studies.
