Montreal functional brain imaging platform
Project Overview
Dr. Shmuel and his team are establishing a local platform which will support functional MRI (fMRI) in the alert non-human primate brain. The platform will be accessible to any primate researchers in Montreal. The platform, including a rig for training primates, equipment for imaging, and expertise in imaging and data…

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, learning and plasticity. However, the…

Project Overview
The Douglas-Bell Canada Brain Bank (DBCBB) houses and manages over 3,000 brains, as well as a large relational database containing demographic, clinical and developmental histories from the donors. The DBCBB is one of the rare brain banks in the world to collect brains from people who suffered from diverse mental…

Project Overview
The traditional target-based drug development strategy (in vitro screening) has had poor success in developing new drugs. The vast majority of Investigational New Drugs (INDs) fail in clinical trials due to toxicity or lack of efficacy. On the other hand, mammalian models are excellent tools to study disease mechanisms and…

Project Overview
Dr. De Koninck studies the persistent changes in spinal cord function that occur after nervous system injury that lead to chronic pain. Understanding the long term alterations that occur in the spinal cord after injury will allow Dr. De Koninck and his team to find new treatment and prevention avenues for…
