The Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives (HBHL) Trainee Committee offers graduate students and postdoctoral fellows the chance to connect with like-minded peers and develop professionally by being part of a team that facilitates monthly networking events, academic talks and helps organize HBHL’s annual Symposium. Since 2017, over 80 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows have participated in the Trainee Committee.</p> Thu, 29 Aug 2024 19:17:05 +0000 Roberta Santangelo 1472 at /hbhl /hbhl/article/research-spotlight-research/bigbrain-mapping-future-neuroscience <p>A decade after Alan Evans and Katrin Amunts made waves in the neuroscience world with the BigBrain, <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1235381">unveiled in Science in 2013</a>, they are working to take their original model to the next level.</p> Wed, 03 Jul 2024 14:27:38 +0000 Emilie Hackett 1458 at /hbhl /hbhl/article/research-spotlight-research/exploring-ataxia-charlevoix-saguenay-breakthrough-gene-therapy <p>Research at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ has brought promising developments in gene therapy targeting a rare hereditary disease present in Quebec.</p> Wed, 03 Jul 2024 14:22:54 +0000 Roberta Santangelo 1457 at /hbhl /hbhl/article/research-spotlight-research/charting-safer-course-advancements-chronic-pain-treatment <p>Chronic pain affects one in every five individuals, yet effective treatment options are far and few between. Too often, chronic pain patients are left to choose between opioids, anticonvulsants for nerve pain and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and naproxen, all of which present their own negative side effects.</p> Mon, 08 Apr 2024 15:00:59 +0000 Emilie Hackett 1449 at /hbhl /hbhl/article/research-spotlight-research/brains-dish-revolutionizing-parkinsons-disease-research-brain-organoids <p>Parkinson’s Disease (PD) affects nearly 100,000 Canadians and 10 million people worldwide. Characterized by a dopamine deficiency in the brain, this neurodegenerative disease disrupts signal transmission in the brain, impacting its proper functioning. Motor symptoms, like tremors, slowness of movement and imbalance problems can appear and deteriorate in patients who have quietly carried the disease for years. Equally devastating are PD’s lesser-known symptoms, like depression, anxiety, hallucinations, dizziness and sleep disorders.</p> Mon, 19 Feb 2024 21:56:51 +0000 Emilie Hackett 1372 at /hbhl /hbhl/article/research/four-questions-professor-alan-c-evans Dr. Alan Evans was recently honoured with the 2019 Glass Brain award for pioneering work in neuroimaging, the technologies we rely on to navigate the human brain.
