One of the largest predictors of mental illness is childhood emotional and behavioural problems (EBP, e.g., aggression, anxiety, depression), which occur in 12-26% of children under age 6 years.

The McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC) is a major platform and research centre entirely dedicated to brain imaging. It features 7 multimodal imaging core units (MRI, PET, MEG, EEG for humans and disease models), comprehensive high-performance computing and data storage resources, and prominent expertise in biomedical image and signal analysis.

Moving neuroscience research from the lab and turning it into a product is extremely challenging. Even the most groundbreaking technologies may never improve a patient’s life if the commercialization path is not successfully navigated.

Stroke is a leading cause of adult and childhood focal brain injury and disability.

Decades of dance research have demonstrated the positive benefits of dance in terms of improving quality of life and reducing symptomatology for diverse groups of participants.

The overall goals of the Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery Clinical Trials Platform is to create a national network of stroke rehabilitation clinical trial sites, help train future researchers and test potential high impact new recovery approaches.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is the result of in utero alcohol exposure and is characterized by central nervous system developmental impairments which causes lifelong physical and cognitive disabilities.

Dr. Xie’s research focuses on the functional assessment of neuropsychiatric disease related synaptic genes – MDGA1 and 2. MDGAs bind to critical neuron synaptic proteins – Neuroglin (NLGN), disrupting the binding between NLGN and Neurexin (NRXN), so suppressing synaptogenesis.

Ms. Raza’s research focuses on early development in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with the goal of identifying behavioral and physiological markers in at-risk infants.

The high and potentially increasing prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is taking a significant emotional and economic toll on patients, their families and Canadian society.
