Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for healthy volunteers aged 18 to 65 to help researchers improve imaging techniques for studying brain and muscle chemistry. Participants will undergo a health screening and then have MRI and MRS scans to gather data on brain activity.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I am between 18 and 65 years old.
- I can give written informed consent.
- I am healthy based on my medical history and physical exam.
- I am enrolled in Protocol 01-M-0254 or Protocol 17-M-0181.
You may not be able to join if
- I have a current Axis 1 diagnosis.
- I have significant laboratory abnormalities.
- I have a positive HIV test.
- I have metallic objects in my body that could be affected by MRI.
- I have a fear of enclosed spaces that prevents me from undergoing an MRI.
- I have a history of neurological illness or injury.
- I cannot lie flat on the scanning bed for about two and a half hours.
- I am pregnant or breastfeeding.

About This Trial
Background:
\- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used scanning technique to obtain images of the human body and evaluate activity in the brain. A particular MRI method called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can be used to study brain chemistry as well, which may help researchers who are studying new treatments for psychiatric illnesses. Researchers are interested in improving cur…
