Research

Our research is focused on treating concussions and head injury; language and cognitive difficulties in stroke, menopause, and andropause; cognition in Alzheimer’s and dementia; chronic pain and neuropathy; and neuromodulation in chronic neurologic illness.

Nearly all our research is self-funded. The New York Memory Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was established in 2008. If you are interested in our research, please email us with your specific questions.
