THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NEUROPSYCHOLOGY FORUM
is pleased to sponsor the upcoming presentation

Memory and Aging, with Dr. Michael Drexler

Wednesday August 18th

5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Online Webinar: Live and Interactive


We have all had the misfortune of forgetting something, but when does a little forgetting indicate something more?  Come join us as we learn more about Memory and Aging. Dr. Michael Drexler will guide us through learning more about the different types of memory and provide an overview of the neuroanatomy of memory from a neuropsychological perspective. There will also be a discussion about the different  Major and Minor Neurocognitive Disorders in the DSM V.  Dr. Drexler will address challenges to the assessment and treatment of memory disorders, and much much more.  You won't want to miss out.  Please join us for this amazing opportunity!
