We recently asked patients to share what “What MIND Means to Me” in their own words — and their responses remind us why we do what we do.

Thank you to our patients across all MIND locations for allowing us to be part of your care! 💘

Stroke recovery can raise a lot of “Is this normal?” questions.

Some changes can happen during recovery, while others should be checked right away.

Changes in energy, progress, or mood can occur — but new or worsening symptoms should always be evaluated.

To schedule a neurological evaluation, contact MIND at 248-553-0010.

Epilepsy isn’t just about seizures. It affects how you work, drive, plan a family, and feel safe in everyday life.

At MIND, we look beyond diagnosis and medication. Our neurologists, EEG technologists, and care team work together to help patients manage the real-life challenges that come with epilepsy — with care that’s personal, practical, and built around each individual.

Our focus is on comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to the whole person, not just the condition. If you or a loved one is navigating life with epilepsy, our team is here to help.

Call us at (248) 553-0010 to learn more.

A recent article discusses emerging research on a blood-based test designed to help physicians better understand disease activity in multiple sclerosis.

The study referenced in this coverage included Dr. Taylor (Gonyou) Hess, a fellowship-trained MS neurologist at the Michigan Institute for Neurological Disorders (MIND), who served as an investigator on research evaluating how biomarker data can support more informed treatment decisions over time.

This type of testing looks at multiple biological signals linked to MS activity — such as immune system behavior, nerve injury, inflammation, and myelin damage or repair — helping clinicians gain additional insight alongside imaging and exams.

At MIND, blood-based biomarker testing may be used in select cases when clinically appropriate.

February is Rare Disease Awareness Month, a time to recognize conditions that are often difficult to diagnose and can greatly affect patients and families.

At the Michigan Institute for Neurological Disorders, our physicians treat patients with rare neurological conditions such as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD)—a rare autoimmune disease often misdiagnosed as multiple sclerosis—as well as myasthenia gravis and certain rare movement disorders, including Huntington’s disease and Multiple System Atrophy.

For many of these conditions, early and accurate diagnosis is essential.

This month, we support the rare disease community and highlight the importance of awareness, research, and specialized neurologic care.

We’re proud to recognize Dr. Robert Pierce for receiving the Leadership Award from the Association of Academic Leaders of Neurology (AALN) for his work as Residency Program Director at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine.

In addition to his role in physician education, Dr. Pierce serves as a sub-investigator in multiple sclerosis clinical trials, advancing neurological research and future patient care.
Congratulations, Dr. Pierce, on this well-deserved recognition.

New Research Explores Finger-Prick Blood Test for Alzheimer’s Research

A new study published in Nature Medicine found that a simple finger-prick blood sample—collected as a dried blood spot—could detect key Alzheimer’s biomarkers with accuracy comparable to that of traditional blood draws.

This approach is not yet ready for clinical use, but researchers believe it could help expand access to Alzheimer’s research, especially for older adults, underserved communities, and individuals for whom standard blood draws are difficult.

“Blood-based biomarkers are transforming how we study Alzheimer’s disease—but rigorous validation still matters,” said Dr. Jonathan Fellows, Director of MIND’s Alzheimer’s Disease & Memory Disorder Center. “Innovations like dried blood spot testing could one day help researchers reach more people, sooner, and with fewer barriers.”

At the Michigan Institute for Neurological Disorders (MIND), we continue to closely monitor advances in Alzheimer’s diagnostics, research, and care—always with patient safety, accuracy, and evidence at the forefront.

Researchers studying Alzheimer’s disease are gaining new insight into how genetics may influence risk.

Here’s what this new research helps clarify:
• A common gene called APOE continues to play a large role in the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease
• Having this gene does not mean you will develop dementia
• Many factors—heart health, lifestyle, sleep, and early care—still make a difference

Even researchers involved in the study emphasized that genetics influence risk, but they do not determine your future.

If memory changes are raising questions for you or a loved one, a proper neurological evaluation can help separate risk from reality.
