Project Overview

More Canadians are surviving stroke today than in previous years, but improved survival also means that more individuals are living with a disability due to stroke. Over 400,000 Canadians have a disability related to stroke. Rehabilitation after stroke is critical for regaining function and reducing the impact of disability on…

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $712,500

Project Overview

Current preclinical models to address neurological disorders fail to accurately portray human physiology. First, traditional tissue culture in which neuronal cells are grown in monolayer do not recapitulate the complex heterogeneity and function of the human brain. Second, animal models such as rodents lack many specific biological features unique to…

Project Overview

Thanks to the late Dr. William Feindel’s vision, who in the 1970’s believed that brain imaging was the “future for neurology and neurosurgery”, and to a generous donation, the Montreal Neurological Institute (The Neuro) inaugurated the McConnell Brain Imaging Center (BIC) in 1984. This pioneering landmark was preceded (and followed)…
