FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How Does it Work?
The CerebroCore Memory Optimization Program can only be prescribed by a Certified CerebroCore Doctor.
1.) The first step is to contact a Certified CerebroCore Doctor. Your doctor will discuss your case with you and determine if you are a candidate for this program. If so, your doctor will register you for the program and provide you with a user name and password so you can access the program from your computer or phone.
2.) The next step is for you to complete the Cognitive Assessment. The CerebroCore Cognitive Assessments are not diagnostic. They are designed to screen for more serious memory issues and to use as a baseline to measure memory improvement. These unique online digital memory assessments provide a complete mental assessment, designed to screen, evaluate the possibility of memory and attention impairment, and to monitor progress throughout the program. This takes about 15-20 minutes The initial Assessment is administered at the beginning of the program and, depending on your performance, your doctor may send you for further neurological tests. The Assessments are then administered periodically throughout the course of care and scores from each Assessment will demonstrate your progress throughout the program.
3.) Once you complete the initial assessment, you will be prescribed a custom program based on the results of your assessment. This custom program will include a combination of Gamma Cognitive Exercises, Gamma Coherence Training and Lifestyle Recommendations. As you progress through the training program, your performance will be evaluated each month. At the end of 1 month of training you will be required to sit for another assessment. Upon completion, a comparison report will be generated demonstrating your progress. The assessments will be administered every month during the course of the program and each assessment will provide a new customized training program for you to follow.

What is Subjective Cognitive Decline?
In 2019, the CDC published a paper entitled Subjective Cognitive Decline – A Public health Issue. In this article, the CDC defines Subjective Cognitive Decline as the self reported experience of worsening or more frequent confusion or memory loss. They go on to say that it is one of the first noticeable symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Dementia This is a condition where the individual reports worsening or more frequent confusion or memory loss, but standardized cognitive assessments are negative. The CDC estimates that there are over 20 million Americans suffering with this condition. Current studies have shown that more people are experiencing these issues as early as their 40’s and half of older adults with subjective cognitive decline go on to develop more severe cognitive issues within seven to 18 years. Common signs and symptoms of cognitive decline include:
• Memory loss, such as forgetting names, places, or recent events
• Problems with organizing or planning — struggling with multi-tasking
• Difficulty with recognizing faces
• Difficulty finding words — often losing vocabulary Misplacing items
• Problems calculating a tip, or paying bills
• Slower recall, which could either be visual or verbal
What is a Quick Cognitive Assessment?
By the time you see cognitive changes – things are happening in the brain.
The Quick Cog Assessment is designed to identify Subjective Cognitive Decline. It is the same assessment that is used in clinical trials and research studies to detect the earliest signs of cognitive impairment. Identifying these changes as soon as possible, allows for early intervention that will help your brain function at a more optimal level and possibly delay the onset of cognitive decline in the future. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
By taking the Quick Cog Assessment you are taking the first step in getting your brain back to health!
