Project Overview

Ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot in the brain, is a leading cause of death, disability, and dementia. One in four of these strokes happens in patients who already had a prior stroke or mini-stroke. These preventable "recurrent strokes" carry a 20% risk of death. Causes include blockages of…

Project Overview

There are many neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases that affect men and women differently, and the reasons for this are not well understood. One factor that may be important is the influence of hormones during puberty, which can cause changes in gene expression that affect how the brain works. Our goal…

Project Overview

The 5kEEG project is a pioneering study that aims to improve our understanding of autism and neurodevelopmental disorders by investigating brain activity. The diagnosis and treatment of these complex conditions are challenging due to limited knowledge of their root causes. The 5kEEG project will examine the brain activity of 5,000…

Project Overview

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease in the brain and spinal cord of the central nervous system (CNS). Canada has amongst the highest rate of MS in the world and Canadians living with MS have lifelong disease that progressively worsens and reduces their quality of life. Although there are…

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $50,000

Project Overview

The diversity of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disease can be commonly unified by fundamental deficits in neuronal communication, particularly at the interface between neurons known as the synapse. Nevertheless, the molecular components facilitating these critical neuronal communication networks remain to be fully elucidated. Previously, we understood that neuronal communication mechanisms heavily…
