About MindCadence

Science should be accurate, understandable, and kind.

Rooted in Alzheimer’s, grounded in neuroscience, guided by humanity.

MindCadence was founded by a neuroscientist who also loves to write, in the belief that understanding the brain and illness shouldn't be reserved for medical professionals. In plain language, MindCadence helps people understand the brain, make sense of illness, learn about caregiving, and understand life a little better.

"Every brain belongs to a person, and every person deserves to be understood."
