This project focuses on how inflammation, without an infection, can alter brain development when a baby was exposed during pregnancy.

In ALS and many other neurodegenerative diseases, one of the defining characteristics is that proteins can become misfolded and clump together, potentially damaging nerve cells.

The rapid formation of new memories and the recall of old memories to inform decisions is essential for human cognition, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Recognizing that the 9 months before birth and the early years of a child’s life are the most critical period in the shaping of the structures and functions of the brain, and the importance of high quality, culturally appropriate early childhood programming for Indigenous children and families prior to kindergarten

The brain requires a large amount of energy and oxygen for survival.

Over the past decade, the number of new cellular structures that have been identified with critical functions for life has expanded considerably.

Scientists have long wondered what the contribution of environment is to ALS and in recent years the idea that a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers has taken shape.

Project MinE is a multi-national initiative with currently participating countries.

The Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP) is a national platform for open sharing of neuroscience research data and brings together many of the country’s leading scientists in basic and clinical neuroscience to form an interactive network of collaborations in brain research
