Anorexia Nervosa is a serious illness and relapse rates are high. We have shown that behavioral routines get stuck/entrenched. Our newest research, Relapse Prevention and Changing Habits (REACH+) for Anorexia Nervosa, aims to help patients minimize unhelpful routines and develop more healthful recovery-oriented behavior. Participants will complete initial…
Most neurologists and other clinicians treating people with Parkinson's disease (PD) are still unclear about how best to prescribe exercise despite the fact that it is now axiomatic that exercise is therapeutically beneficial for PD. In contrast, drugs for PD are prescribed with care and specificity due to large scientific investigations showing…
We are looking for participants for a study on the role of immune response in Parkinsons disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). We are inviting people WITH PD, WITH AD, WITH amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment or WITHOUT PD or AD to come and participate.

FoxBioNet ECV-004 is an observational study sponsored by the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. The purpose of this study is to investigate a gene called LRRK2. Mutations in the LRRK2 gene are associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), and mutation carriers have greater LRRK2 protein activity. The goal of this study is to identify…
People with bulimia nervosa engage in risky behaviors more often than people without this disorder. We are researching the neurobiological underpinnings of risky decision-making in bulimia nervosa. As a participant in this study, you would: (1) complete a series of questionnaires and interviews, (2) complete an MRI scan (no radiation), and (3) complete…
