Roughly 10-20% of people self-report use of cannabis during pregnancy.

Frequent heavy use of cannabis is increasingly common in young Canadians.

One hundred and forty-four thousand Canadians suffer a diagnosed concussion each year.

Annually, approximately 250,000 people in Canada sustain a concussion.

Our aim is to optimise mental health for youth across Canada, by providing a state-of-the-art informatics platform to support knowledge and data integration, open data, machine learning and improved communication between stakeholders – the Canadian Youth Mental Health Insight Platform.

In this program, we will study: 1) patients with stroke, which occurs when blood flow is stopped to a part of the brain causing weakness or loss of sensation;2) patients with heart failure which is when the heart does not pump properly or does not relax; 3) patients with dementia, which is deficit of brain function that impairs the ability to perform daily functions.  

Brain-Heart conditions such as cognitive impairment (trouble remembering and learning) or heart failure (heart muscle unable to pump enough blood) are becoming more common as we age.

In general, women take part in research less than men.

Alzheimer’s disease is a leading cause of dementia and cognitive decline.

The Canadian Platform for Trials in Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (CanStim) is national research platform whose goal is to create a network of sites across Canada for clinical trials that can develop and test the use of different types of non-invasive brain stimulation as an additional therapy option for people with stroke to help them better recover their ability to move their hands and arms after a stroke.
