Search DIAN Data Resource Requests

In order to avoid the situation where two investigators study the same research question, please search our database to determine if your topic has already been studied. If you find that your topic or a related topic has already been submitted, you may wish to contact the investigator to inquire about his/her findings to determine how you might proceed. You may wish to collaborate or modify your request to avoid overlap. The results below reflect requests made since online requests have been accepted. As such, not all fields will have data as certain information, such as aims, were not collected until recently. If an entry has been assigned an ID # (e.g. DIAN-D1004), the full request has been submitted and is either approved, disapproved or in process.

Title:Association of cortical and subcortical microstructure with disease severity: impact on cognitive decline and language impairments in Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer’s disease.

Date of Request:07/25/2023

Status:pending approval

ID:DIAN-D2315




Aim 1:We aimed to study the cortical and subcortical microstructural variations using surface-based analysis (cMD and cortical fractional anisotropy (cFA)) and TBSS (MD and FA)




Aim 2:We also explored the relationships between multimodal macrostructural/ microstructural measures and the clinical scale scores representing language abilities (verbal fluency test (VFT) and Boston naming test (BNT)).
