In the 2006 movie "Memory", Dr. Taylor Briggs is an expert in what field?

In the 2006 movie "Memory," Dr. Taylor Briggs is an expert in memory diseases. Played by Billy Zane, Briggs is an American authority on disorders involving memory when he is asked to consult on a mysterious patient discovered near the Amazon River.

The film’s medical premise quickly turns supernatural. During the examination, Briggs is accidentally exposed to an unusual substance that appears to unlock memories belonging to someone else. These visions eventually connect him to a brutal serial killer and to disturbing events from the past.

"Memory" is a 2006 American medical-thriller written and directed by Bennett Joshua Davlin. Its story blends ideas from neurology and inherited memory with horror, rather than presenting a realistic account of dementia or memory treatment. The title can cause confusion because it describes both Briggs’s specialty and the film’s central mystery.

The character is sometimes described more specifically as an Alzheimer’s specialist, but the film’s broader description is an authority on memory diseases, making the stored answer the best match for the question.
