Brain cancer begins in stem cells, targeting them may prevent tumour growth
Researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) have found an exciting new way of treating brain cancer.
Late stage brain cancer cells are heterogeneous 鈥� they differ down to the molecular level. This makes developing treatments at this stage difficult, because a drug that may be effective against one cell may not be effective against another.

The institute that developed the 鈥淢ontreal Procedure鈥� continues to be on the cutting edge
The Neuro is recognized worldwide as a leader in epilepsy research and treatment. From the beginning, Neuro founder, Dr. Wilder Penfield, made epilepsy a central focus. He and his colleagues developed a surgical treatment for epilepsy patients known as the 鈥淢ontreal Procedure,鈥� which today is in use throughout the world. The Neuro became a pioneer in studying epilepsy through the use of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform will make disseminating and publishing data easier
Modern neuroscience research can produce massive amounts of data, which researchers can use to find patterns revealing anything from the first physiological signs of Alzheimer鈥檚 disease to a new drug target that could stop neurodegeneration. However, this data must be stored, processed, and distributed effectively.

Volume in brain region linked to physiological changes characteristic of AD
New research has drawn a link between changes in the brain鈥檚 anatomy and biomarkers that are known to appear at the earliest stages of Alzheimer鈥檚 disease (AD), findings that could one day provide a sensitive but non-invasive test for AD before cognitive symptoms appear.
