Researchers at the University of Delaware are conducting a research study for healthy individuals ages 40-60 to better understand how the brain senses sodium.


The purpose of this study is to understand how the brain senses sodium and if there is a difference in how sodium is sensed in salt sensitive versus salt resistant individuals.


Interested individuals in the age range can fill out the interest form and will be contacted by the lab to set up an initial health screening at the University of Delaware to see if they are qualified to participate.
