For every family
searching for answers.

FindingNeuro began when my grandfather started showing signs of memory loss. I watched my family search desperately for clear, trustworthy information — and find almost nothing they could actually understand.

The research existed. The science was advancing. But it was hidden behind paywalls, buried in jargon, and inaccessible to the people who needed it most.

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. We believe families deserve to understand what science knows about the diseases affecting their loved ones."
