About Memory Research
There are several ongoing clinical trials to assess cognitive function, including memory preservation, in older adults. Efforts are underway to test currently approved drugs for improving the care of older adults living with memory loss, including those with depression and/or agitation.
The effect of supplementation using essential amino acids on the preservation of memory is also under study.
We are also looking at whether acute confusion or delirium, may be improved with dietary intervention.
The Walker Memory Center is home to an expert team that provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment of memory loss in older adults.
