About

Here we focus on midlife, because midlife represents an optimal time window for disentangling neurocognitive deterioration associated with typical aging from deterioration leading to dementia. 

Background

The study compares performance of cognitively normal young adults (18-30 years of age) and middle-aged persons (45-55) on a range of cognitive tasks. The testing consists of a single session, which can be completed in about 1 hour and 1.5 hour.

The study has been approved by Sikt.

Financial support: ISP, UiO and UiO: Life Sciences
