Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive mechanism for stimulating brain regions in humans. TMS can potentiate or inhibit activity in various brain regions, and it allows researchers to exert causal control to explore and define network connectivity among brain regions. Using real-time brain readouts combined with interleaved TMS/fMRI, we …
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE The research study is being done to test the performance of a new type of whole-body imaging device called a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) long-axial field-of-view scanner, called the PennPET Explorer, that has been developed at the University of Pennsylvania and is …
The Women's Health Clinical Research Center at University of Pennsylvania is currently recruiting healthy women who have regular periods and do not wish to become pregnant for at least 12 months for a research study of an investigational birth control patch. The study patch that will be used in this …

PET/CT imaging will be used to evaluate neuroinflammation in subjects with Alzheimer's Disease and Healthy Controls, using the investigational radiotracers [11C]PBR28 and[18F]NOS. Each subject will have one PET/CT session that includes both [11C]PBR28 and [18F]NOS injections and scan of the brain performed sequentially. Subjects may also undergo a brain MRI …
PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this study is to measure how much oxygen is used by the kidneys. The kidneys play an important role in removing waste products from the body. In people with chronic kidney disease and diabetes, the kidneys do not function normally and have changes in oxygen consumption. …
The mechanisms underlying cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) pathophysiology must be better defined if care for people with CFRD is to be optimized or if development of CFRD is to be interrupted. Detailed studies of insulin secretion in CF are required to achieve this goal since 1) subtle insulin secretion …
We invite you to participate in a research study where we explore how young and old people differ in their behavioral and biological rhythms. The main criteria to qualify as a research subject are: 1.) you are apparent healthy, 2.) you own a smartphone and 3.) you are either between …
The University of Pennsylvania seeks young adults ages 18-28 for a research study. The purpose of this study is to use different types of MRI scans to find individualized TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) targets and compare how the brain responds. We are also interested in using TMS during a working …
This research study will test whether a new optical device can reliably measure markers of blood flow and blood vessel function in the brain. We will be recruiting 60 subjects in total: 30 healthy, 15 with known narrowing of the carotid artery, and 15 small vessel stroke. All subjects will …
