The Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center (CNADC) is a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to research, education and patient care. The research mission is to discover how the healthy brain coordinates mental functions such as memory, language, attention, and emotion in health and how those functions are affected by aging and by diseases of the brain, including Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. The educational mission is to transfer the benefits of this research to patients and their caregiving families, to train researchers and clinicians, and to educate the public about prevention and treatment. The patient care mission is carried out in the outpatient setting at the Neurobehavior and Memory Health Service of the Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation.
