A new study shows a sort of signature in the brains of lonely people that make them distinct in fundamental ways, based on variations in the volume of different brain regions as well as based on how those regions communicate with one another across brain networks.</p> Mon, 19 Oct 2020 14:19:14 +0000 zeny.gatdula@mail.mcgill.ca 4762 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/researchers-awarded-27m-study-loneliness-and-alzheimers-325223 <p><strong>Work will tell us how loneliness interacts with brain structure and function in normal aging and pre-symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease</strong></p> <p>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.</p> Wed, 07 Oct 2020 18:25:38 +0000 shawn.hayward@mcgill.ca 4748 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/pathway-alzheimers-degeneration-discovered-287931 <p><em><strong>Finding is key for future treatment and earlier diagnosis </strong></em></p> <p>Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) of ƽ���岻�� have used a unique approach to track brain degeneration in Alzheimer’s disease, uncovering a pathway through which degeneration spreads from one region to another.</p> Wed, 04 Jul 2018 15:23:15 +0000 timothy.ellis@mail.mcgill.ca 3109 at /neuro /neuro/nathan-spreng-phd Sat, 12 Nov 2022 10:07:45 +0000 saeesh.mangwani@mail.mcgill.ca 3642 at /neuro /neuro/article/research-i-choose-neuro/nathan-spreng-i-choose-neuro Nathan Spreng is studying how brain networks support various cognitive processes such as remembering information, and how we use this knowledge to influence our decisions.
