If you have been living with Parkinson's disease for at least 4 years and take medication for Parkinson's disease, you may be eligible to participate in a research study aimed at treating low motivation with a form of non-invasive brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Have you recently been diagnosed with breast cancer but have not yet started treatment (other than surgery)? You may be able to take part in the UNC CogMAP study. In this study, we want to learn more about cognitive and brain function before and after cancer treatment. This will help us to better understand risk factors for experiencing cognitive difficulties during and after treatment.

During puberty, adolescents grow and change a lot which may make life seem more stressful and emotional. Male and female adolescents experience the changes associated with puberty differently, possibly because of different responses to changes in hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. We are interested in learning more about the role of these hormones in regulating emotional processing and mood symptoms, and whether a mobile training program can help improve mood during the pubertal transition. Participation is 8 weeks with two monthly follow-up surveys. Compensation provided.
