Expanding CNDR as an Open Science, Multi-modal Data Platform
Project Overview
Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) are rare conditions that affect nerves and muscles. These diseases can be complex and require significant healthcare resources, but because they are rare, there are many knowledge gaps that can impact patient care. Recently, the NMD treatment landscape has changed with the introduction of new, expensive therapies…

See the project and researchersAdvancing Brain Research Through Spatial Histology
Project Overview
The Histology Innovation Platform at McGill University is a specialized facility that helps scientists study the brain at a cellular level to better understand neurological diseases like Alzheimer's, brain cancer, and epilepsy. Using advanced technologies, the platform allows researchers to explore how different brain cells interact and change in disease,…

Project Overview
The Douglas-Bell Canada Brain Bank (DBCBB; douglasbrainbank.ca), based at the Douglas Research Centre (McGill University affiliate), has become one of the most important brain banks in the world. Founded in 1980, the DBCBB currently houses and manages over 3,600 brains, as well as a large relational database containing demographic, clinical…

See the project and researchersThe Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform
Project Overview
Many of the challenges faced by both basic and clinical neuroscientists, such as ensuring the reproducibility of important findings and the representation of underserved populations, can be tackled with Open Science approaches. To achieve these goals, we have built the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP), which aims to make neuroscience…

See the project and researchersEthoLab: A platform for neurophysiological studies of natural behavior
Project Overview
Systems neuroscience owes much of its success to an empirical tradition of using simplified laboratory settings that carefully control sensory stimuli, motor responses, or other task-relevant variables in order to identify the neural mechanisms underlying different behavioral functions. However, while this approach facilitates interpretation of neural signals, it potentially limits…
