Akron Children's Adult Neurodegenerative Clinic doctors and counselors know a lot about diseases that run in families. These diseases can affect how the brain works as people get older. We work with adults and families who have certain brain diseases that:

  • Run in families.
  • Usually start when someone is an adult.
  • Can cause problems with movement or memory.
