Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system.

In this guide learn how treatment can help control symptoms, slow progression, and lessen the impact of MS.

Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, or RRMS, is the most common form of multiple sclerosis. As with other forms of the disease, RRMS occurs when an abnormal immune response attacks and damages the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. With RRMS, these attacks follow a pattern of relapse and remission. While RRMS is challenging for both patients and caregivers, there are treatments and therapies that can help prevent relapses and slow the progression of the disease.

Meningitis B is a rare but very serious bacterial infection that causes inflammation around the brain and spinal cord.

A guide to understanding the changes that occur with age, including how aging can affect the brain and strategies to stay healthy as you age.

Huntington’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes the breakdown and permanent loss of neurons (nerve cells) in the brain. This breakdown in neurons causes a person to experience involuntary and uncontrolled muscle movements, changes in personality, and problems with coordination, thinking, and memory. Symptoms become more severe as the disease progresses. In most cases, symptoms begin in a person’s 30s or 40s, and the juvenile form of the disease is less common.
