There are more than 1,000 brain diseases and disorders.

At Brain Canada, we envision a future where scientists across disciplines collaborate to drive innovation. A future where early-career researchers have the resources to explore their boldest ideas. And where people across the country have access to solutions that may hold the answers to the many mysteries of the brain.
