Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
WEBAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a neurodegenerative disease which causes the loss of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. While the cause of most cases of ALS is unknown, roughly 20% of cases are caused by inheritance of one of a number of genetic mutations. The…
Alzheimer’s Disease
WEBAlzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. It begins with subtle memory loss and progresses relentlessly. AD ultimately involves higher cognitive function capabilities, leading to complete incapacitation and death. It is a complex disease with many contributing factors (including genetics) which is one of the reasons there is …
Brain Donation Program

We are happy to discuss this program with you and to
Spinocerebellar Ataxias (SCAs)
WEBThe spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a large group of hereditary diseases associated with loss of coordination and fine motor skills. This family of diseases is characterized by degeneration in the part of the brain that controls the coordination of movement (cerebellum). People affected by Ataxia may experience problems with using their …
