Neuron cell death may be caused by overactive immune system听
A team of scientists led by Dr. Michel Desjardins from the University of Montreal and Dr. Heidi McBride from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI) at 成人VR视频 have discovered that two genes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) are key regulators of the immune system, providing direct evidence linking Parkinson's to autoimmune disease.
A team of scientists led by Dr. Michel Desjardins from the University of Montreal and Dr. Heidi McBride from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI) at 成人VR视频 have discovered that two genes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) are key regulators of the immune system, providing direct evidence linking Parkinson's to autoimmune disease.
Using both cellular and mouse models, the team has shown that proteins produced by the two genes, known as PINK1 and Parkin, are required to prevent cells from being detected and attacked by the immune system.
Couche-Tard founder gives $4 million to 成人VR视频 for groundbreaking research on intellectual disabilities
It鈥檚 all math: How Professor Alan Evans is using cutting-edge statistics to unravel the complexity of brain disorders.
When Alan Evans was starting out in the 1970s, researchers didn鈥檛 ask the boss to foot their bar tab. But that鈥檚 exactly what some of the coders in his Montreal Neurological Institute lab recently proposed: a 9-to-5 Saturday hackathon, held in an Irish pub a few blocks from the 成人VR视频 campus.
EMC working with 成人VR视频 to support data storage and visualization technologies to help with the NeuroHub project
The Canadian research team that helped spearhead the international brain-mapping project known as BigBrain is about to get a major boost in its effort to produce sharply higher-resolution brain maps, thanks to technology from EMC Corporation.
Study reveals the impact of night work
You cross paths with him at the break of dawn in the corridors of the Metro. He looks bleary-eyed and pallid. This worker鈥檚 night shift just ended. His body clocks are out of sync with one another, and, imperceptibly, they鈥檙e also out of sync with his environment. In the long run, this night owl could be at greater risk of developing cardiovascular, autoimmune diseases or certain types of cancer.
Newly named Gerald Bronfman Department of Oncology recognizes family鈥檚 enduring support
In recognition of the Bronfman family鈥檚 enduring support for oncology programs and research at 成人VR视频, the Faculty of Medicine鈥檚 Department of Oncology has been named the Gerald Bronfman Department of Oncology, in honour of one of the family鈥檚 major benefactors.
The Neuro is recognized as a major Canadian center for ALS research and patient care. During June, designated ALS Month, The Neuro redoubles its efforts to inform the public and the media about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and urges all to help support ALS research.
Antibiotic resistance represents a major challenge in treating pathogenic bacterial infections.
Now, researchers at 成人VR视频 have discovered a possible target for fighting back against resistant bacteria.
This significant investment of public and private support will redefine the future of music research in Canada by transforming the way musicians compose, listen and perform music.
Neurofeedback using electroencephalograpy boasts thousands of practitioners and appears to both improve normal brain function and alleviate a wide variety of mental disorders 鈥� from anxiety to alcoholism. But after examining the scientific literature and consulting experts in Europe and the U.S., 成人VR视频 researchers Robert Thibault and Amir Raz conclude that clinical improvements from this increasingly popular alternative therapy are due to placebo effects.
