Dementia Program In 2010, Dr. Schulz moved to Mischer Neuroscience Institute and UTHealth Neurosciences, where he sees patients who have cognitive, behavioral, or mood disorders. His group is investigating risk factors for dementia in order to understand why it develops, including both environmental and genetic factors. They use imaging, epidemiologic, and genetic approaches and have identified several risk factors. They are also investigating ways to diagnose dementia earlier, perhaps before symptoms develop, in order to determine whether interventions in the presymptomatic stage might delay or prevent the development of dementia. His group has early data suggesting that the treatment of some risk factors may reduce the probability of developing dementia. Dr. Schulz has received numerous awards and has been an invited speaker at major scientific meetings worldwide. He has been extensively published in the scientific literature and has been featured on television and radio shows.
Dr. Schulz is highly rated in 15 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, Neuronal Intranuclear Inclusion Disease (NIID), Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, and Deep Brain Stimulation.
