Summary
The purpose of this research study is to investigate brain insulin's relationship with food
intake in African Americans. Facilitating insulin's entrance into the brain through a nasal
spray is currently being studied as a way to prevent or treat Alzheimer's disease. However,
brain insulin may also have an impact on food intake. This study is designed to help
researchers understand how different factors related to Alzheimer's disease (i.e. APOE
genotype and cognitive functioning) influence brain insulin's relationship with food intake.
