<h2><b>MRI data from large sample shows increased whole-brain connectivity in people with a second language</b></h2> <p>Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to build connections within itself, adapting to the surrounding environment. The brain is most plastic in childhood, forming new pathways in reaction to stimuli such as language.</p>

<p>This podcast episode, hosted by the <a href="https://rbiq-qbin.qc.ca/">Quebec Bio-Imaging Network (QBIN)</a>, features<a href="/spot/marie-brossard-racine"> Marie Brossard-Racine</a>, a research member of the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR).</p> <p>Dr. Racine's work primarily focuses on unraveling the complex mechanisms behind function and dysfunction in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. From scanning babies to adolescents, her lab tackles the unique challenges of MRI scanning across different stages of childhood development.</p>

<p>In this episode of the <a href="https://curiousneuron.com/podcasts/">Curious Neuron Podcast</a>, host Cindy Hovington is joined by<a href="/neuro/node/5325/julie-scorah"> Dr. Julie Scorah</a>, a licensed neuropsychologist at À¦°óSMÉçÇø. Julie practices as a clinician and is involved in research about how to make autism resources more accessible to the families that need them.</p>

<p>Many parents of neurodivergent children have found that early parenting advice helps them better support their child's unique needs. With guidance from renowned neuropsychologist <a href="/neuro/node/5325/julie-scorah">Dr. Julie Scorah</a>, this <a href="https://curiousneuron.com/podcasts/">Curious Neuron podcast</a> episode with Dr. Cindy Hovington, PhD, explores the specific challenges faced by neurodivergent children.</p>

<p>Lors d’une récente étude, les scientifiques du Centre Azrieli de recherche sur l’autisme (CARA) ont découvert une méthode favorisant la réduction de l’inflammation cérébrale.Ìý</p>

<p>A new study by researchers at the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR) has uncovered a promising approach for reducing brain inflammation.Ìý</p> <p>Glial cells, which support and protect neurons, can become overactive during injury and brain inflammation. This overactivity may contribute to chronic neurodegeneration and worsen brain disorders. Understanding how this process, called reactive gliosis, is controlled could help scientists better understand brain diseases and improve treatments.ÌýÌý</p>

<p>Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) is a rare hereditary disease that significantly impacts motor control, coordination, and stiffness, particularly in the legs. This condition, which first appears in children from two to five years old and progresses slowly, was initially identified in the Charlevoix-Saguenay region of Quebec in 2000. Though rare, affecting only one in 1,500 people in the region and with roughly 320 cases in Quebec, ARSACS is increasingly recognized globally as the second most common form of Ataxia.</p>

Alors qu’elles arrivent à l’âge adulte, les personnes autistes se trouvent confrontées aux mêmes objectifs et aux mêmes difficultés que les autres. Cependant, pour traverser cette phase sans heurts, elles ont souvent besoin d’aide et de ressources supplémentaires.

Autistic individuals face similar goals and challenges transitioning to adulthood as others. However, they often need extra help and resources to make this phase go smoothly.
