Understanding Perceived Access and Receipt of Gender-affirming Treatments Among Transgender Veterans
Recruiting
Transgender Veterans (trans Vets) frequently experience gender dysphoria or distress related to discord between their gender identity and birth sex. Gender-affirming treatments (GATs) are medically necessary treatments to reduce gender dysphoria. However, not much is known about the barriers and facilitators that influence GAT access and receipt in VA and VA Community Care (CC), among trans Vets who desire GATs. The goals of this mixed-methods study are to determine which GATs trans Vets receive... Read More

Neurophysiologic Biomarkers in Rett Syndrome
Recruiting
The goal of this observational study is to identify candidate biomarkers in individuals with Rett Syndrome (RTT). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do these biomarkers change during clinical changes in individuals with RTT? * Are biomarkers stable over time in clinically stable individuals? * Do these biomarkers correlate with severity of RTT? Participants will be asked to undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) with measurements of Evoked Potentials (EP) to measure electrical activity... Read More

Improving Memory in Alzheimer's Disease with Noninvasive Brain Stimulation
Recruiting
The investigators will evaluate the theory that Alzheimer's disease-related memory impairment derives from the inefficient orchestration of rhythmic activity at the level of large-scale cortical networks. The results as expected to elucidate AD-related pathophysiology and set groundwork for the development of drug-free interventions for improving memory in AD and related dementias.
