Marie-Kim is a doctoral student at the University of Laval who is conducting research on dark microglia’s ultrastructural features and its interactions with hallmarks of amyloid deposition.

Stroke is a common and disabling brain disorder which may have long-lasting effects.

Because of low fitness and heart problems, people with stroke are at very high risk of a second stroke or heart attack within 10 years.

The first question people ask after suffering a stroke is: “Why?”

One in four strokes are caused by a condition called cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). There are no approved treatments for CSVD.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to dramatic alterations in physical and mental well-being.

Strokes often cause brain damage that can severely affect motor function, particularly fine movements of the hands and digits.

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

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

Ischemic stroke occurs when a person suffers a sudden blockage of an artery in their brain.
