Huntington's disease is hereditary neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system with plenty of complications that can affect brain function. Can somebody help me about brain impact of this disease and the way to deal with brain dysfunction? My father's cognitive condition is worsening progressively. Some of manifestations are short-term memory and unrecognizing members of family.
