Neurologists in the network hold board certification in neurology with subspecialty focus in behavioral neurology, cognitive disorders, or neurodegenerative disease.
They order and interpret the diagnostic backbone: MRI volumetrics, amyloid and tau PET, plasma p-tau217, neuropsychological batteries, and lumbar puncture when indicated.
When you would see one
- You need a formal diagnostic workup for memory loss.
- You want biomarker confirmation before starting an anti-amyloid therapy.
- You have neurologic symptoms alongside cognitive change.
