Common features in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) include misdirected proteins that build up over time and lead to large protein clumps that are toxic to the cell and lead to cell death.

We are looking at how a behaviour change program can help stroke survivors recover their ability to walk better.

What is the role of apolipoprotein receptor 2, a protein found in the brain vessels, in Alzheimer’s disease ?

Nearly half the people affected with Alzheimer’s disease will at some point show reduced motivation to perform their daily activities or participate in activities they previously enjoyed.

In this study, we. aim to do two things: 1) monitor the distribution of a-Syn in Parkinson’s disease (PD) context to understand the factors that can cause a-Syn to build-up in certain cells of the brain, called microglia.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder with no known cure, leading to progressive loss of motor function and ultimately the death of the patient.

An imbalance between excitation and inhibition is one of the earliest detectable features of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

My project aims to understand how racial identity is influencing the way Black women experience post-partum depression (PPD).

This proposal is based on our finding of substantial depletion of neurofilament synthesis in mouse models of ALS with abnormal accumulations of TDP-43, a hallmark of the disease.
