We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

We are currently receiving a large number of applications for data submission, and the review process is taking longer than usual.We sincerely apologize for the delay and kindly ask for your understanding. When submitting an application, we would greatly appreciate it if you could allow sufficient time for the processing.

Following a change to our organizational structure effective April 1, 2026, this division has been renamed from the "Database Center for Life Science, Joint Support-Center for Data Science Research" to the "Database Division for Life Science (DBCLS), BioData Science Initiative (BSI), National Institute of Genetics (NIG)". Where the former name still appears in the guidelines, please read it as the new name.

Research title

Japanese Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative (J-ADNI)

Research overview

Aims
Japanese ADNI aims to establish imaging and biofluid markers that can predict and monitor the progression of changes in the brains of elderly individuals with AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or normal cognition, and eventually be used as a surrogate markers for the clinical trials of DMDs for AD.
Methods
The research protocol includes structural MRI analysis, FDG and amyloid PET, CSF sampling, apoE genotyping, combined with a set of clinical and psychometric tests that were prepared to achieve the highest compatibility to those used in US-ADNI.
Participants/materials
Participants enrolled in a longitudinal study: 537 (healthly elderly controls: 154, mild cognitive impairment (MCI): 234, Alzheimer's disease (AD): 149)
