Summary

Researchers are trying to determine if cognitively normal subjects undergoing a moderate aerobic exercise program will accumulate less amyloid-ß (Aβ) concentration in their brain than subjects undergoing a non-aerobic exercise program, and further evaluating the safety and imaging characteristics of florbetapir F 18, the radioactive drug that will allow us to image changes in the brain amyloid-ß (Aβ).
