Cognitive Neurology Association (CNA) represents the coming together of Indian Neurologists engaged in care of people living with dementia.

Anyone who is interested and working in the field of cognitive neurology can become a member of CNA

Joining CNA offers a unique opportunity for members to become a part of a dynamic community dedicated to advancing the science of cognitive neurology. Members will benefit from a wide range of academic, clinical, professional and collaborative opportunities. By becoming a member, you also contribute to a collective vision of providing evidence-based dementia care, advancing research and strengthening professional capacity across India and beyond.

India would experience a steady rise in number of person living with dementia (PwD) in coming years. Also, the need for trained cognitive neurologists to provide care for the rising number of dementia patients is increasing. So, we need to train neurologists on cognitive neurology and spread awareness about the disease in the community. We still do not have modern diagnostic tests available in our country including CSF and imaging biomarkers. But, as new drugs are becoming available and soon to be introduced in the country in next few years, our preparedness towards this is crucial. In coming decades, we believe, Indian cognitive neurologists can lead the research in this region and the world. Therefore, we are at the crossroad, we must take our next step forward to form an association to help achieve our goal. We think time is appropriate to form an association of cognitive neurologists in this country.
