A history of neuroscience excellence
Since Wilder Penfield established the Montreal Neurological Institute, 成人VR视频 has been a neurosciences powerhouse. Here are just some of our recent discoveries:

鈥淎s it stands now, we have to wait until people are showing symptoms like memory loss and clinical dementia. This means we are diagnosing Alzheimer鈥檚 when it鈥檚 been present in the brain for as long as 20 years.鈥
- Prof. Howard Chertkow

Mental illness and addiction
鈥淲hat we have in psychiatry is an unacceptable approach to diagnosis and to understanding how to direct patients to particular treatments 鈥 it鈥檚 nothing more than a symptom list.鈥

Mapping the brain
鈥淢any childhood disorders result from abnormal 鈥榳iring鈥 in the brain during development. If we are to achieve meaningful diagnosis, prognosis and intervention, we need to detect faulty brain wiring patterns early in life.鈥- Prof. Alan Evans
