Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by difficulties with communication, social deficits as well as repetitive behaviors and interests. Project Overview Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by difficulties with communication, social deficits as well as repetitive behaviors and...

Thanks to the late Dr. William Feindel’s vision, who in the 1970’s believed that brain imaging was the “future for neurology and neurosurgery”, and to a generous donation, the Montreal Neurological Institute (The Neuro) inaugurated the McConnell Brain Imaging Center (BIC) in 1984. Project...

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...

Brain and nervous system disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, autism, and brain cancers are among the most devastating health challenges of our time. They affect over 600,000 Canadians and millions worldwide, with cases expected to rise sharply in the coming decades. Project Overview Brain and...

The MIND Platform is a groundbreaking initiative that will revolutionize brain research by allowing scientists to capture and analyze unprecedented detailed images of the brain at both large and small scales. Project Overview The MIND Platform is a groundbreaking initiative that will revolutionize...

At birth, some babies suffer from a condition called birth asphyxia, where their brain and organs do not receive enough oxygen or blood, leading to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Project Overview At birth, some babies suffer from a condition called birth asphyxia, where their brain and...

Patients with neurological disease are understandably frustrated by the lack of meaningful pharmacological treatments for even comparatively common pathologies such as Parkinson’s Disease. Project Overview Patients with neurological disease are understandably frustrated by the lack of meaningful...

(NeuroVIP) is an innovative initiative designed to accelerate the discovery of new treatments for brain and nervous system disorders. Many neurological conditions such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, and ALS, remain poorly understood and lack effective therapies. NeuroVIP addresses this...
