About the conditions
Information about the neurological conditions that we study.
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
In MS, damage to the insulating layer around nerves can cause numbness, vision problems, difficulties with walking and fatigue.

Motor neuron disease is caused by loss of the nerve cells that transmit signals from the brain to the muscles.
Cognitive disorders
Cognitive disorders refer to problems with memory, language, thinking and understanding.
Parkinson's disease (PD) & movement disorders
Loss of particular nerves in the brain can causes people with Parkinson's disease to have a tremor and difficulty with movement.
