  • Total Grant Amount

    $246,996

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $123,498

Project Overview

One of the major challenges facing the BRAIN initiative is the development of technologies that will enable the recording of neural activity throughout the entire volume of a rodent brain. Optical imaging approaches for recording of neural activity in model organisms have already proven to be highly effective, but are…

Project Overview

Stroke is a leading cause of adult long term disability and the third leading cause of death in industrialized countries. Brain cell death following stroke leads to the loss of brain controlled functions such as speech and locomotion. Unfortunately, the factors that control brain cell death during stroke have not…
