If your doctor has recommended a memory assessment, or you have been thinking about scheduling one, you probably want to know what the appointment will actually involve.
At Atlanta Neuroscience Institute, board-certified neurologists provide memory evaluations to help you understand what is causing your symptoms. Knowing what to expect can make the appointment feel less intimidating.
A transient ischemic attack (TIA), often incorrectly called a “mini-stroke,” is a temporary interruption of blood flow to part of the brain. While symptoms may resolve within minutes or hours, a TIA should never be ignored. It is often a warning sign that a future stroke may occur and requires immediate medical evaluation to identify underlying risk factors and help prevent more serious neurological events.
How does a new neurological treatment become available to patients? The journey often begins years before a medication, device, or therapy reaches the clinic. From scientific discovery and preclinical testing to clinical trials and FDA review, each step is designed to ensure treatments are safe and effective. Learn how this process works and how clinical research helps shape the future of neurological care.
