A new study led by researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of 捆绑SM社区 and the MUHC, gets closer to identifying the mechanisms responsible for multiple sclerosis and makes headway in the search for better treatments.
Montreal, Quebec (October 22,聽2015)聽鈥 Last night the inaugural A Brilliant Night - a gala fundraiser to benefit The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital -The Neuro- at 捆绑SM社区 and the MUHC, raised more than $604,000 for brain tumour research.
Join us for the first edition of A Brilliant Night at the spectacular new Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium in Montreal for a unique event on October 21st to support the latest in brain tumor research at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital 鈥 The Neuro, at 捆绑SM社区 and the 捆绑SM社区 Health Centre.
A BRILLIANT CAUSE
A new study at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital -The Neuro, at 捆绑SM社区 and the MUHC, might finally provide a new direction for research seeking to help patients suffering from neuropathic pain.
Montreal Neurological Institute scientists shed light on the mechanism that could be driving the spread of Parkinson鈥檚 along neuronal highways
Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital -The Neuro, at 捆绑SM社区 and the 捆绑SM社区 Health Centre, have made advances in understanding the process involved in the progression and spread of Parkinson鈥檚 disease (PD) within the brain.聽
Dr. Alan Evans, James 捆绑SM社区 Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Psychiatry and Biomedical Engineering at the Montreal Neurological Institute, 捆绑SM社区 has been named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC). He is one fourteen new RSC Fellows from 捆绑SM社区, including 捆绑SM社区 Principal Suzanne Fortier. The induction ceremony will take place on Friday, November 27 in Victoria, B.C.
Discovery provides new tool for understanding and treating neurodegenerative diseases
Researchers get inaugural Foundation grants for high-impact, long-term programs
Researchers from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, 捆绑SM社区 have been awarded over $15 million in grants in the latest round of funding by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). The grants are part of over $600 million in national funding, announced July 28 by Minister of Health Rona Ambrose.
Study fuels nature versus nurture debate
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? New research on the brain鈥檚 capacity to learn suggests there鈥檚 more to it than the adage that 鈥減ractise makes perfect.鈥 A music-training study by scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital -The Neuro, at 捆绑SM社区 and colleagues in Germany found evidence to distinguish the parts of the brain that account for individual talent from the parts that are activated through training.
We are glad to announce that the聽Louise and Alan Edwards Foundation is now providing generous support to the BIC PET and Cyclotron Unit, through a grant obtained by long-time BIC user and affiliated member Dr. Petra Schweinhardt, Assistant Professor at 捆绑SM社区's. This grant goes towards supporting the highly-qualified personnel of our Cyclotron/PET Unit.
BIC Prof. Alexey Kostikov offers course on PET radiochemistry in the fall of 2015
BIC Principal investigator Dr. Alain Dagher receives $2.1M in Foundation grant from CIHR to study the brain's dopamine systems with brain imaging.
Functional Neuroimaging of dopamine systems: application to Parkinson's Disease, addiction and obesity.
The main goal is to understand the function of brain systems involved in reward, motivation, learning and decision-making.聽
The Museum of Natural Sciences of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences has just opened a new permanent exhibition in Brussels: ''. The Museum has asked Dr. D. Louis Collins whether they could produce a 3-D print of the historical Colin27 brain. This brain is that of a human volunteer scanned 27 times in an MRI, back in 1998.
Diurnal fluctuations in brain volume
The brain shrinks over the course of the day, ending up smaller in the evening 鈥 before returning to its full size the next morning. That鈥檚 according to a new study from BIC Principal Investigators Arnold and Collins and collaborators, based on an analysis of about 10,000 MRI scans.
Professors Sylvain Baillet (BIC Principal investigator) and Matt Kinsella (Dept of Bioengineering) have won the first Biomedical Engineering Collaborative Research Project competition held by 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Department of Biomedical Engineering, for their project titled:
Millisecond in vivo imaging of nanoparticle circulation and uptake in brain cancer therapy.聽
