Our Clinics
Clinical Core Primary Phone: (859) 323-5550
Kentucky Neuroscience Institute Memory Disorders Clinic
UK-ADRC neurologists offer initial evaluations for memory loss of patients with late-life cognitive disorders, e.g., Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Following evaluation, patients may be asked to participate in our Aging Clinic studies.
Telemedicine Cognitive Clinic
Telemedicine Cognitive Clinic is for patients who live in remote areas of Kentucky or surrounding states. The use of a videoconferencing system allows patient and doctor to see and talk with each other as if they were in the same room.
Sanders-Brown Center on Aging Clinic
The UK-ADRC Clinical Core is dedicated to the study of normal brain aging and transitions across the spectrum of cognitive impairment (normal/ preclinical Alzheimer's disease/ MCI/ dementia). Our normal brain aging study follows roughly 800 individuals, with and without problems with memory and thinking.
