Post-mortem human hippocampal neuroplasticity, cognition, and late-life physical activity: Importance of biological sex and cognitive health status
Aperçu du projet
The world population is rapidly aging; there is a real need for effective, personalized lifestyle recommendations for promoting healthy cognitive aging. Physical activity is a promising strategy for healthy brain aging. However, we lack prerequisite knowledge that will improve its utility and effectiveness. Specifically, we do not now for whom…

Aperçu du projet
This research aims to unravel the mysteries of Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe neurodevelopmental condition primarily affecting girls, characterized by mental and physical impairments. The focus is on the role of two proteins, Fanconi Anemia Group J protein (Fan1) and methyl CpG binding protein-2 (MECP2), which are essential for the…

Aperçu du projet
Substance use during pregnancy can have negative effects on infants, including congenital disabilities, delayed neurodevelopment, and long-term learning difficulties. In Canada alone, it is estimated that up to 5% of all infants are exposed to multiple substances, which amounts to around 15,000 births annually. Unfortunately, there is no known cure…

Aperçu du projet
In everyday life, we are solicited by numerous stimulations coming from different sensory modalities (e.g., visual, tactile, auditory…). These stimuli are integrated separately or combined by the brain to provide the right response. The integration of multisensory information plays a key role in the development of cognitive processes such as…

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease and the fastest growing neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. However, despite extensive investigation, most clinical trials failed to translate promising findings into drugs for people living with the disease. As of today, there is no therapy that can stop…
