Neurologists Ieva Paegle and psychologist Jelena Harlamova, work in the memory unit. Patients’ memory problems are determined by various tests. A psychologist is involved in the process, who evaluates the memory function with psychological tests, assessing the patient’s attention, memory, language, spatial perception and skills. In addition to basic neurological examination, patients undergo electroencephalography, magnetic resonance imaging, cerebrovascular examinations, and various laboratory tests. If an in-depth examination of the patient is required, it is performed in a neurology day hospital. The main goal of the memory cabinet is to detect initial memory disorders in a timely manner, especially in patients under the age of 60, in order to prevent irreversible impairment of memory, cognition, various skills and abilities.
