## Description

The Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and Aging (CNSA) at the University of Miami is a center focused on the evaluation, management, treatment and care for older persons and their families with memory and other brain disorders affecting cognition. A major focus of this group is early detection of cognitive impairment. Participants included in the current FUS release are from a study examining cognitive and biomarker changes among individuals who were unaffected at study entry and followed over time (Novel Detection of Early Cognitive and Functional Impairment in the Elderly). The sample is diverse with Non-Hispanic White, Hispanic White, and African American participants. Novel Detection of Early Cognitive and Functional Impairment in the Elderly.
