That vision resonated across the San Antonio community, prompting more than $40 million in philanthropic support to help make that dream a reality. And in November, Texas voters approved a state constitutional amendment establishing a $3 billion state fund to accelerate research, treatment and prevention of Alzheimer\u2019s disease and related dementias.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis center is the culmination of years of effort to build a space that not only meets the care needs of patients and families, but also expands our research capacity,\u201d said Sudha Seshadri, MD, DM, neurology professor and founding director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/biggsinstitute.org\/\">Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer\u2019s and Neurodegenerative Diseases<\/a> at UT Health San Antonio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s deeply meaningful to me, both personally and professionally, to offer not just treatment, but respect for each person\u2019s uniqueness. A diagnosis doesn\u2019t define a person, and it certainly doesn\u2019t stop their story.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A new model for neurological care <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Center for Brain Health is set to redefine the treatment of conditions like Alzheimer\u2019s, dementia, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson\u2019s. Multispecialty care teams include neurologists, therapists, counselors and support staff in one location, reducing the need for multiple appointments. The center features 75 exam rooms, 12 infusion chairs for newly approved and investigational treatments, and specialty spaces for therapy, diagnostics and wellness.<\/p>\n<p>Other services include geriatric psychiatry, nutrition, neuropsychology, genetic counseling, physical therapy and mental health support for patients and caregivers.<\/p>\n<p>Community spaces are available to host support groups and educational events, reinforcing the center\u2019s role as a hub for families and anyone affected by neurological conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is more than a building, it\u2019s a new model for neurological care,\u201d said Carlayne Jackson, MD, FAAN, chair of the Department of Neurology. \u201cOur patients need comprehensive assessments, imaging, neuropsychology testing, family services and more. All of that is available here in a single, coordinated location.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jackson said what excites her most about the center is the integration of patient care and research.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing able to manage patients in the same space where research and clinical trials are happening is something we\u2019ve never had before,\u201d said Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>The center includes a bridge to the institution\u2019s Medical Arts and Research Center, is near the UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital and is across the street from the <a href=\"https:\/\/barshopinstitute.uthscsa.edu\/\">Sam and Ann Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies<\/a>, enhancing collaboration across research and clinical care teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Center for Brain Health represents hope \u2014 a place where care and discovery come together to preserve brain health, ensure early diagnosis and help people keep doing what they love for as long as possible,\u201d Seshadri said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Advanced imaging technology <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12551 size-medium alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/fob_care_terraX_imaging-300x228.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/fob_care_terraX_imaging-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/fob_care_terraX_imaging-1024x778.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/fob_care_terraX_imaging-150x114.jpg 150w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/fob_care_terraX_imaging-768x584.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/fob_care_terraX_imaging-1536x1167.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/fob_care_terraX_imaging-350x266.jpg 350w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/fob_care_terraX_imaging.jpg 1683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>UT San Antonio\u2019s 7-Tesla Terra.X magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner \u2014 Texas\u2019 first \u2014 housed within the Center for Brain Health, is one of the most powerful imaging technologies available. This system provides ultra-high-resolution brain scans to guide early diagnosis and novel research to aid the study of conditions like Alzheimer\u2019s, Parkinson\u2019s and other brain diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to standard MRI, the 7T offers dramatically improved resolution, especially in deep or complex regions such as the brain stem and temporal lobes. In clinical use, this can help distinguish between minute differences that are not visible with lower-powered scans. For example, the 7T can more accurately distinguish between a benign blood vessel and an aneurysm, potentially sparing a patient from unnecessary surgery. The level of detail provided, even without contrast, can reveal deep structures like the brain stem, where many diseases begin, and veins where amyloid is cleared.<\/p>\n<p>By offering this cutting-edge MRI locally, UT Health San Antonio can reduce the burden of travel for patients and expand access to high-resolution imaging that might change the course of their diagnosis or treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UT Health San Antonio Center for Brain Health brings clinical care and caregiver support under one roof to
