Project Overview

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common disorder that impacts development of the brain. ADHD is characterized by hyperactivity and inattention in children; the consequences of which can lead to more frequent need for health care and loss of productivity as an adult. While drugs exist to treat ADHD,…

Project Overview

The microbes living in our gut have recently been found to affect important developmental processes such as brain development and hormonal regulation during puberty. Microbes produce compounds that affect the brain, as well as change the activity of sex hormones. Despite these recent advances, there remains a wide knowledge gap…

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $100,000

Project Overview

The emerging consensus that the brain functions as a single, complex system has led to the popularity of a network approach to studying brain function. Functional connectivity, a measure of the coordinated activity between brain regions, has been observed in neuroimaging studies to change during aging and could be related…

Project Overview

Epilepsy - a brain disorder defined by repeated seizures - imposes significant challenges for individuals and society. One of the most challenging cases of epilepsy is termed ""drug-resistant epilepsy"", wherein seizures do not respond to medication. New treatments to assist individuals with medically intractable epilepsy are urgently needed, and such…

Project Overview

Our brains have their own GPS – the hippocampus, a region where special neurons, called ‘place cells’, help us navigate and store memories. However, when the hippocampus is damaged, our internal map can become unreliable, affecting our memory and orientation abilities. Our goal is to unravel this complex coding system.…
