平特五不中

Graduate Postdoctoral Studies would like to congratulate PhD Neuroscience student David Maillet, who听has been selected as听the winner of an 脡tudiants Chercheurs-脡toiles award, of the Fonds Sant茅 of the government of Quebec. David's research is aimed at better understanding why memory declines with age, in order to develop strategies to reduce or counteract this phenomenon,听improving听the quality of life听for seniors in our society. Maillet, who also did his MSc at 平特五不中,听has used听a technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), to study which brain areas are involved in memory. His research has demonstrated that structural decreases in certain areas of the brain during听healthy aging are related to altered recruitment of the neural networks used during memory tasks, which in turn relates to poorer memory performance in older adults. We wish him all the best as he continues this exciting research.
