A Human System to study Immune-Ependymal Cell Relationships

Aperçu du projet

Ependymal cells are a largely understudied barrier cell type in the brain that provide a wall between brain tissue and brain fluid (cerebral spinal fluid, CSF), playing an important role in regulating fluid balance. These cells become dysfunctional in many brain diseases and this dysfunction contributes to neurodegeneration that occurs…

Detection of tandem repeat expansion in neurological disorders

Aperçu du projet

In the past decade, rapid development of software has allowed detection of a wide variety of genetic risk factors in brain disorders. It has improved clinical diagnosis and gene discovery for numerous human brain disorders. However, the casual genetic risk factors identified so far generally confer less risk than expected…

Neural predictors of theta burst stimulation

Aperçu du projet

In Canada, 1 in 20 people live with depression. Substantial efforts have been made over the years to develop new treatments to enhance therapeutic options. One effective alternative to medication is theta burst stimulation (TBS). This technique uses magnetic fields applied to the outside of the head to modulate brain…

Multi-scale analyses of brain connectivity and dynamics in autism spectrum conditions

Aperçu du projet

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects approximately 1 in 70 children and is associated to a considerable burden for affected individuals, their families, and health care at large. As ASD remains not very well understood from a neuroscientific perspective, we currently lack diagnostic and intervention approaches that target potential biological mechanisms.…
