Work will tell us how loneliness interacts with brain structure and function in normal aging and pre-symptomatic Alzheimer鈥檚 disease
Two researchers from The Neuro, with collaborators from the StoP-AD Centre at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and the Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, will lead a research program centered on an emerging field of neuroscience thanks to a grant from the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Aging (NIH/NIA) in the USA.
Initial results of study show that an estimated 250 independent events following spring break travel in March led to 60,000 people being infected
A group of scientists at University of Montreal, The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital), and 平特五不中 has been awarded a major research grant of over $12.5 million from the Aligning Science Across Parkinson鈥檚 (ASAP) initiative over the next three years to study Parkinson鈥檚 disease. ASAP鈥檚 implementation partner The Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson鈥檚 Research issued the grant.
Findings could lead to development of pre-clinical stage therapeutics
By Jason Clement
For decades researchers have known that Alzheimer鈥檚 disease (AD) causes the atrophy of a system of neurons and synapses highly involved in memory, learning and attention, which is highly dependent on a molecule known as nerve growth factor (NGF). The disease causes dysregulation of NGF鈥檚 metabolism, leading to the loss of the synapses and neurons that depend on it, akin to plants being deprived of light.
Study identifies rapidly dividing cancer stem cells that can respond to new therapies
Brain cancers have long been thought of as being resistant to treatments because of the presence of multiple types of cancer cells within each tumor. A new study uncovers a cancer cell hierarchy that originates from a single cancer cell type, which can be targeted to slow cancer growth.
C. L. de Carvalho-Heineken Prize recognizes his seminal work in the cognition of music
Cognitive neuroscientist Robert Zatorre has been awarded the C.L. de Carvalho-Heineken Prize in Cognitive Sciences.
The Heineken Prize鈥揼iven every two years to five different researchers鈥搃s considered the most prestigious international science prize in The Netherlands and includes a monetary reward of US$200,000. Previous winners include Nancy Kanwisher of MIT, and Stanislas Dehaene of the Coll猫ge de France.
Award recognizes his collaborative work in neuroscience and neuroinformatics
Neuroscientist Alan Evans has been awarded the Killam Prize, one of Canada鈥檚 highest honours, for his numerous contributions to the understanding of the human brain.
Evans is an internationally recognized researcher at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital), James 平特五不中 Professor in Neurology and Neurosurgery and the Victor Dahdaleh Chair in Neurosciences.
平特五不中-Gothenburg collaboration yields affordable test that could revolutionize the way AD is diagnosed, studied and treated
By Gillian Woodford
A simple blood test that can detect Alzheimer鈥檚 disease (AD) has been discovered and validated in a joint effort by a 平特五不中 team and researchers in Sweden. Their results are published in the May issue of听The Lancet Neurology.听An accompanying听commentary听calls the discovery 鈥渢ransformative.鈥�
Montreal medical specialists and 3D printing company team up to find solutions for critical supply shortages
听
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented need to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) for hospital staff. A team of Montreal medical experts has partnered with a 3D printing company to design and distribute face shields to protect healthcare workers as they treat patients with this life-threatening disease.
The Neuro鈥檚 director has been a driving force in neurological disease research and Open Science leadership
Since 1957, The Gairdner Foundation has been recognizing the achievements of the world鈥檚 top researchers for their contributions to health science. This year, Dr. Guy Rouleau joins an elite group of scientists by receiving the Canada Gairdner Wightman Award.
Study suggests humans have developed complementary neural systems in each hemisphere for auditory stimuli
Speech and music are two fundamentally human activities that are decoded in different brain hemispheres. A new study used a unique approach to reveal why this specialization exists.
