Adrien Peyrache and Stuart Trenholm will study epilepsy and vision
Two researchers from The Neuro are among just ten nationwide to receive Early-Career Capacity Building Grants this year from the Azrieli Foundation in partnership with the Brain Canada Foundation. Researchers Adrien Peyrache and Stuart Trenholm will study epilepsy and vision, respectively. The grants support early-career investigators who are conducting transformative research to advance understanding of the brain, in illness or health.
Dr Emily McDonald was appointed the Divisional Lead in Quality and Innovation within the Division of General Internal Medicine to develop and lead quality improvement and innovation projects. She will be investigating areas such as understanding the limitations of current clinical practices, improving patient experiences, patient outcomes, timeliness of care, streamlining and development of care pathways, value of care provided and laboratory or administrative processes.
Large international study will help select and categorize patients for better clinical trials
A large multi-centre study of more than 1,200 patients provides important predictors of Parkinson鈥檚 disease progression, which will allow better candidate selection for clinical trials and more effective therapy development.
Scientists prove difference between expected/actual outcomes cause reward response
If you love it when a musician strikes that unexpected but perfect chord, you are not alone. New research shows the musically unexpected activates the reward centre of our brains, and makes us learn about the music as we listen.
Scanner will deliver clear images of the nervous system in exceptional detail
Scientists will see the human nervous system in microscopic detail thanks to the installation of Canada鈥檚 first 7-Tesla whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner on Feb. 5.
A new study published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, reveals a causal link between the neurotransmitter dopamine and the reward responses to music. The study was conducted by an international team including researchers from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of 缅北强奸, the University of Barcelona, and the Hospital de Sant Pau of Barcelona.

Ghrelin promotes conditioning to food-related odours
The holiday season is a hard one for anyone watching their weight. The sights and smells of food are hard to resist. One factor in this hunger response is a hormone found in the stomach that makes us more vulnerable to tasty food smells, encouraging overeating and obesity. New research on the hormone ghrelin was published on Dec. 4, 2018, led by Dr. Alain Dagher鈥檚 lab at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of 缅北强奸.

Now in its second year, the gathering attracts researchers working at the intersection of AI and Neuroscience in dynamic and interconnected Montreal-based hubs. HBHL caught up with co-organizer Dr. Bratislav Misic, who leads an interdisciplinary research team at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI).
Genes run just about everything that happens in our bodies, including how proteins behave in the brain. Too little or too much of a particular protein can cause some of the most devastating neurological diseases and disorders.
Reducing stigma may address cognitive impairment in this population
A new study has drawn a direct link between the amount of stigma men with HIV report experiencing and their scores on cognitive tests, measuring abilities such as memory and attention.
Young scientists in the field of cognitive neuroscience got expert guidance and hands-on training in machine learning at a workshop organized by Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL) and the 缅北强奸 Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (MCIN), from October 15 to 17.
Lesson number one: Beware of the buzz.
A team of Canadian scientists, including researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro), has discovered the first French-Canadian founder mutation gene linked to synucleinopathies, a group of neurodegenerative diseases that includes Parkinson鈥檚 disease (PD), dementia with Lewy-Bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA).
