Behavioral Neurology Overview
Print People with brain conditions that affect their memory or thinking (cognitive) skills might be evaluated and treated by experts in the Division of Behavioral Neurology. You might suspect that you or a loved one is experiencing such a condition if you notice signs or symptoms such as aggressive behavior, confusion, delusions, disorientation, forgetfulness, hallucinations, language difficulties, memory loss, personality and behavior changes, poor judgment, poor problem-solving abilities, and a tendency to get lost. Your care team
Neurologists work with experts in other specialties, including neuroradiology, neuropsychology, sleep medicine, speech pathology, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. Together they listen to your concerns, evaluate you and develop with you an individualized plan of care. People with conditions that affect their cognitive function benefit from this team model of care, including coordinated diagnostic tests, access to dietary and nutritional counseling, follow-up care, and the support of social workers.
