In this episode of the Brain & Life podcast, author Tanita Allen joins Dr. Katy Peters to discuss her experience with Huntington’s Disease and how it inspired her to write her book We Exist.

Dr. Peters is then joined by Dr. Katie Moore, Assistant Professor of Neurology and Associate Director of the Neurology Residency Program at Duke University Medical Center. Dr. Moore explains what Huntington’s Disease is, dispels some diagnostic myths, and what patients and caregivers can look forward to in the future.
