2013 Barbara Turnbull Award for Spinal Cord Research
Project Overview
Although the spinal cord contains all the circuitry necessary for locomotion, due to the absence of commands from the brain, people with spinal cord injuries are unable to walk. Motor recovery can be partially achieved by strategies or therapies intended to regenerate axons from the brain to the spinal cord.…

Project Overview
Dr. Scott and his research team focus on how feedback to the primary motor cortex, which is a key region in the brain for voluntary control, interacts with spinal activity. This will enable them to understand how sensory feedback from the limb (and vision) is essential while performing voluntary motor…

Project Overview
The main goal of my project is to further characterize the role of Wnt signalling in glioma progression. One objective will be to delineate the Wnt receptor complex important in this context. Indeed, ten FZD receptors and at least 5 co-receptors have been shown to act to transduce Wnt signals.…

Project Overview
We propose a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of Goal Management Training (GMT) for improving these patients’ cognitive functioning as well as patient and caregiver QoL. With Brain Canada support, we will adapt GMT to adults diagnosed with brain cancer and to adult survivors of childhood brain cancer,…

Project Overview
This study will provide more in-depth information on all individuals with malignant and benign brain tumours in Ontario and their utilization of health care services at the provincial and local level. The objectives of this project are to (1) identify the number of persons with brain tumour and the associated…
