Neurodegenerative conditions are disorders that affect brain function. There are two types of conditions: those affecting movement (such as Parkinson’s disease) and those related to memory and dementia (such as Alzheimer’s disease). These disorders have a significant impact on individuals’ well being, affecting both individuals’ ability to care for themselves and live independently and requiring the care and services of the community in which they live.

The Krembil Neuroscience Centre’s Neurodegenerative Program is the largest of its kind in Canada and is international renowned for the patient care, research and innovation. Through the Morton and Gloria Shulman Movement Disorders Clinic and the Memory Clinic patients from around the world come to our clinics to receive diagnosis, management, care and support.
