Cognitive Disorders Program The Cognitive Disorders Program
focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of people experiencing
problems with memory and thinking ability, such as dementia,
Alzheimer's disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The program
also is engaged in both clinical and translational research,
including brain imaging and clinical trials. An important part
