    1. R01AG038465 Stern (PI) 09/01/11 ? 08/31/16 Exploring Cognitive Aging Ability Using Reference Ability Networks The proposed research program constitutes a major reevaluation of the methods and goals of the study of cognitive aging that should provide major new, integrative, and perhaps simplifying, insights into the neural basis of the most important and central features of cognitive aging. Role: co-I R01AG033546 Stern (PI) 09/15/10 - 05/31/15 Exercise, aging, and cognition: Effect and mechanisms The goal of the proposed study is to extend the investigation of the beneficial effects of aerobic exercise to younger individuals, aged 25-40 and 50-65. Role: co-I R01 AG026158 Stern (PI) 09/15/04 - 08/31/16 Imaging of Cognition, Learning, and Memory in Aging This work will lead to better understanding of how aging and AD pathology impacts on the neural systems that mediate cognitive function and the neural mechanisms that differentiate successful and unsuccessful aging. In turn, it may provide clues for remediating or preventing age-related cognitive changes and delaying the onset of AD. Role: co-I R01NS076837 Cosentino (PI) 09/21/12 - 07/31/17 Examination of the Earliest Symptoms and Biomarkers of FTLD MAPT Carriers This project examines the earliest clinical symptoms of FTLD in carriers of a tau mutation. Role: co-I R01MH101172 Posner (PI) 09/01/11 ? 08/31/16 Imaging Stimulant Effects on Emotional Liability in Children with ADHD Role: co-I R21MH099388 Steinglass (PI) 01/13/14 ? 12/31/15 Multimodal imaging of the Mesocortical system in anorexia nervosa This project will use complementary neuroimaging techniques to study neural circuitry in anorexia nervosa. Using resting state functional neuroimaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and arterial spin labeling we will evaluate the mesocortical system in individuals with anorexia nervosa before and after weight restoration treatment, as compared with healthy controls. Role: co-I R01AG043463 Ochsner (PI) 09/01/12-8/31/17 Understanding cognitive mechanisms of emotion regulation in aging This project seeks to understand the ways in which the psychological and neural mechanisms underlying the cognitive regulation of emotion change in older adults. Role: co-I ADDF Gibson (PI) 01/01/15 ? 12/31/16 Benfortiamine in Alzheimer ?s Disease: A pilot Study This pilot study will test whether a vitamin B1 derivative that increases glucose utilization and diminishes AD symptoms in mouse models will be beneficial in patients with AD. Role: co-I R01AG043679 Gibson, Jordan (co-PIs) 09/01/14-05/31/19 Benfortiamine in Alzheimer ?s Disease: A pilot Study This pilot study will test whether a vitamin B1 derivative that increases glucose utilization and diminishes AD symptoms in mouse models will be beneficial in patients with AD.
