The Dallas Lifespan Brain Study (DLBS) combined brain and cognition measures across the adult lifetime, including an expansive range of imaging and tests at three points across 10 years in nearly 500 individual healthy peoples’ lives. Dr. Denise Park, Distinguished University Chair in Behavioral and Brain Sciences and CVL director of research, is the originator of the project. “Releasing this data will allow the exploration of and characterization of how the brain changes in many different facets as we age. The most recent wave of DLBS contains data that is allowing researchers to examine tau in the brain. “The availability of this valuable data is allowing scientists to evaluate and refine dominant models of disease and cognitive aging,” Wig said.
