Understanding how the brain works when we make decisions during social interactions has been difficult for neuroscientists.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rare and fatal disease, which is characterized by degeneration of specific neurons called “Motor neurons” that control the movement of our muscles.

Each year, over 312 million patients undergo surgery.

There are an increasing number of people living with dementia.

Males are twice as likely to develop ALS compared to females and the disease onset is also earlier in males than females.

Jacquie Baker, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Calgary, aims to explore whether epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord improves heart health after spinal cord injury.

Marina Rincon Sartori, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Calgary, is investigating the role of mitochondria in the autonomic dysfunction associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

Multisystem proteinopathy (MSP) is a devastating rare disease described by a cluster of diseases that affect the brain, bone, and muscle.

Elahe Memari, a Doctoral student at Concordia University, is investigating the use of focused ultrasound in conjunction with microbubbles to locally modulate the tumor microenvironment towards a pro-immune and anti-tumour response for hard-to-treat solid tumors like glioblastoma.

Donna Gift Cabalo, a Doctoral student at McGill University, aims to better understand the functional organization of memory networks in the human brain by developing an open access ultra-high field imaging dataset.
