BCAT Research Center
The BCAT® Research Center is a multidisciplinary group of researchers and clinicians dedicated to the study and treatment of memory disorders. The primary focus of our research efforts is the development of assessment tools that better equip healthcare professionals, patients, and their families in coping with memory loss and dementia.
We will post new studies as information periodically.
