Aperçu du projet

Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumour of childhood, affecting 60-80 Canadian children per year. The treatment for medulloblastoma comprises surgery, followed by radiation to the entire brain and spinal cord, and high doses of non-specific chemotherapy. Despite such aggressive treatment, survival is only around 60%, with survivors left…

Aperçu du projet

Rett syndrome is a severe neurological disorder that is caused by genetic mutations in the MECP2 gene. The disorder almost exclusively affects females, presents in childhood and limited effective treatments exist. Since the disease can range in severity and age of onset, there is an active search in the research…

Aperçu du projet

An enormous amount of brain development occurs throughout childhood and experiencing a concussion during this time may have long-lasting effects. An important part of brain development is the maturation of brain connectivity. Connections in the brain are made up of axons, the long thin projections of nerve cells that are…

Aperçu du projet

The hippocampus is the brain region which shows the most severe changes in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Magnetic resonance imaging can be used to measure these changes in order to improve diagnosis and evaluate potential treatment options for patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The hippocampus is not a uniform brain region,…
