The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI)

The Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) is a research project aimed at understanding Alzheimer’s disease through the use of various imaging techniques, clinical assessments, and biological markers. Launched in 2004, it involves tracking the progression of the disease in participants over time to improve diagnosis, treatment, and ultimately find a cure. By collecting and sharing extensive data, ADNI helps scientists and clinicians identify patterns and changes associated with Alzheimer's, fostering collaboration and advancing knowledge in the field of neurodegenerative diseases. It represents a significant effort to combat one of the leading causes of dementia.
