A national coordinating neuroinformatics framework for autism and related conditions

Project Overview

New approaches in neurodevelopmental research increasingly seek to integrate enormous amounts of data through sophisticated informatics so as to determine the relationship between genotype and phenotypes, both structural and functional, as they change over time during development. Such approaches dw…

CBRAIN: Canadian Brain Research And Informatics Platform

Project Overview

Advances in neuroimaging over the past several years have provided researchers with unprecedented access into the inner workings of the brain. Such data can be collected non-invasively from human subjects so that dynamic changes in brain and behavior can be captured during normal development, aging,…

Montreal integrated neuropsychiatric cohort: Identifying subtypes of Autism and Schizophrenia integrating genomics, endophenotypes, and cohorts of high-risk genetic variants

Project Overview

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia (SZ) are two psychiatric conditions that affect approximately 2% of the general population. Genetic studies have identified mutations in hundreds of genes associated with ASD and SZ. This suggests that many different mechanisms are causing these diso…

Novel Retinal Biomarkers for Alzheimer’s Disease

Project Overview

Individuals with Alzheimer’s suffer severe memory loss over time, and eventually are completely dependent on caregivers. Age is a significant risk factor, and the longer we live, the higher the chances of getting Alzheimer’s. Detecting the beginning of Alzheimer’s in an individual’s brain in…

Structural and functional networks in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Fragile X Syndrome

Project Overview

Many childhood disorders, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), are a result of abnormal growth and connections throughout the brain, rather than being caused by some specific pathology, such as a tumour. For meaningful diagnosis, prognosis and intervention for these de…

The McConnell Brain Imaging Center: A world-renowned multidisciplinary platform dedicated to brain research using multimodal neuroimaging and neuroinformatics

Project Overview

Thanks to the late Dr. William Feindel’s vision, who in the 1970’s believed that brain imaging was the “future for neurology and neurosurgery”, and to a generous donation, the Montreal Neurological Institute (The Neuro) inaugurated the McConnell Brain Imaging Center (BIC) in 1984. This pione…
