    $120,000

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $30,000

Project Overview

The goal of this study is to advance knowledge regarding the association of vascular risk factors and blood vessels with brain structure and function in youth with severe mental illness. In addition to traditional vascular risk factors (body weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol levels), we are planning to study…

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $30,000

Project Overview

The objective of our project is to investigate if women with carotid stenosis (CAS) have impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation in different regions of their brain. Specifically, we hypothesize that women with more severe CAS will have greater impairments in their ability to maintain CBF during rapid reductions in…

Project Overview

To obtain a more inclusive understanding of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) in women, we will investigate the relationship between vascular health and cognition in women belonging to Canada’s three largest ethnic groups (South Asian, Chinese, and White). To do so, we will assess measures of vascular…

  • Total Grant Amount

    $26,668

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $6,667

Project Overview

The understanding of the factors responsible for the increased risk of cognitive problems in women remains limited. Determining the function of small vessel disease in maintaining brain health is crucial, particularly for women. As a result, we propose examining cognitive abilities as well as changes in the structure and volume…

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $22,500

Project Overview

Our research project will investigate the relationship between physical activity and brain vascular health in women. The term vascular brain health refers to the health of blood vessels within the brain. To measure brain vascular health, we use cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) which quantifies the abilities of blood vessels to expand…
