The Memory Disorders Clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic founded in 1984 as part of the federally funded Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) and the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging.

The clinic offers initial diagnostic evaluations for adult patients with suspected neurologic disease affecting memory, language, visuo-spatial function or other aspects of cognition. The physicians have particular expertise in the evaluation and care of patients with late-life cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and brain damage that causes loss of intellectual functions (dementia). Physicians have special expertise in the evaluation of puzzling cognitive disorders occurring in any adult.

The clinic offers promising new research protocols to those patients with dementias that are currently thought untreatable. Each patient undergoes assessment, social service evaluation, review of previous medical records and radiologic studies followed by a complete neurologic evaluation. This information is evaluated thoroughly at a formal diagnostic review conference.

Charles D. Smith, MD - Director
William R. Markesbery, MD
