Project Overview

The neonatal brain is exquisitely vulnerable to the biological consequences of prematurity, birth asphyxia and congenital heart defects. Brain injury and abnormal maturation in the neonatal period is associated with long-term changes in microstructure and connectivity underlying significant cognitive, motor, language and behavioral disorders. Our understanding of clear cerebral disruptors…

Project Overview

Epilepsy is a common neurological condition that affects 1-2% of the population. Despite dozens of anticonvulsant medications, over a third of patients remain refractory to drugs and our goal is to uncover novel therapies for this patient population. Here, we propose to create a national platform for anticonvulsant drug discovery.…

Project Overview

Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability in children and young adults in Canada. Despite huge developments in basic neuroscience, no new therapies or diagnostic tests have been introduced in clinical care over the past 30 years. In the acute setting, neither clinicians nor researchers are…
