Project Overview

We remember our experiences in the correct order and we can assess the elapsed time between them. Patients with damage in the hippocampus brain region cannot remember the order and time of experienced events, even though they can remember those events. Therefore, the hippocampus links together memories close in time,…

Project Overview

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a deadly disease of the brain with no cure. By studying the brains of patients who have died scientists have discovered that PSP brains contain toxic deposits of a protein called tau. Tau deposits in PSP brain are seen in both nerve cells and support…

Project Overview

Over 600,000 Canadians currently live with different types of dementia, and more than 76,000 new dementia cases are diagnosed each year. In over 75% of the cases, there is evidence of damage to the blood vessels in the brain. We can study these vascular brain damages using magnetic resonance imaging…

Project Overview

Depression is a common mental health condition that affects millions of Canadians. While there are treatment options available, some patients do not respond to conventional antidepressants and receive direct-to-brain stimulation therapy with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). rTMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas…

Project Overview

Cognitive function (thinking, memory, and concentration), balance, and walking problems affect the lives of many stroke survivors. Virtual reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment that can be explored in 360 degrees. VR has been introduced to the field of rehabilitation to promote improvements…
