A neurorehabilitation platform to discover and develop neuroprosthetic therapies in the rodent
Project Overview
Recovery of movement after a spinal cord injury starts in the brain. Two-thirds of spinal cord injuries are not complete, meaning some connections and voluntary movement remain. In such cases, the nervous system can partially recover movement over time. Activity-based therapy helps retrain the brain to control movements, like walking…

Project Overview
By the time a person receives a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia, brain atrophy is such that memory impairments are irreversible. The scientific community is joining forces to collect and share data on the pre-dementia phases of AD (preclinical and prodromal AD). Neuroscientists require a large pool of longitudinal…

Project Overview
MRI is a powerful tool for measuring how the brain changes across life and how conditions like preterm birth or concussion can disrupt the brain’s development. Across Canada, three leading pediatric MRI research centres are developing the Canadian Pediatric Imaging Platform (C-PIP). C-PIP is launching as a partnership between the…

Project Overview
Neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease profoundly affect aspects of cognition including memory, attention, decision making and cognitive flexibility, and contribute to diminished quality of life for millions of patients and their caregivers. At the current time there are no successful disease modifying therapeutics for these devastating conditions.…

Project Overview
Brain-based disorders such as epilepsy, stroke, acquired brain injury, and Parkinson’s Disease impact tens of thousands of Canadians each year. Diagnosis and monitoring of brain-based disorders is done using brainimaging methods including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). However, these techniques are limited for their use for clinical and…
