An open solution to improving research reproducibility

Structural Genomics Consortium researchers at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) of 香蕉视频, in collaboration with scientists from 11 major antibody manufacturers representing approximately 80 per cent of global renewable antibody production, have developed and standardized an Open Science platform to characterize research antibodies.

Open Science project funded for $1.5M

An innovative research project led by researchers at The Neuro has been awarded $1.5M by the Government of Quebec through CQDM.

YCharOS is an innovative platform led by neuroscientists Peter McPherson and Carl Laflamme that validates antibody reagents for human proteins.

At-home neurological disorder diagnosis project receives major funding

REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) is an often debilitating condition that causes people to act out in their sleep, sometimes violently. What鈥檚 worse, people with the disorder often go on to develop Parkinson鈥檚 disease.

Gene therapy project receives major funding

听

Gene therapy for rare neurological disorders will move one step forward thanks to a $1.14 million grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

Research on new stem cell models receives $2.6 million

An innovative new program based at The Neuro has received $2.6 million from the CQDM and the Brain Canada Foundation.

Bilingualism makes the brain more efficient, especially when learned at a young age

Neuroplasticity is the brain鈥檚 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.

Recreating a hallmark of Parkinson's disease in human neurons

Lewy bodies are a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other related neurological conditions. Understanding why and how they develop is critical to developing better treatments.

Alan Evans elected Fellow of the Royal Society

Alan Evans, a researcher at The Neuro, James McGill Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery and co-director of the Ludmer Centre for Neuroinformatics and Mental Health, has been elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society, joining a class of scientists that includes a Nobel laureate and a former Chief Medical Advisor to the US President.听听

Two Neuro projects funded by international partnership

The Paris Brain Institute and the Institut Pasteur have partnered with The Neuro to fund two groundbreaking studies, each receiving more than $440,000. These projects are part of an international collaboration to address future challenges in neuroscience.

$10.6M grant supports innovative autism project

听

A new project at The Neuro, 香蕉视频 and the Research Institute of the 香蕉视频 Health Centre (RI-MUHC) has been awarded $10.6M in financial support as part of the Canada Foundation for Innovation鈥檚 (CFI) Innovation Fund.

Making AI a partner in neuroscientific discovery

The past year has seen major advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT. The ability of these models to interpret and produce human text sources (and other sequence data) has implications for people in many areas of human activity.

A neurological disease paradigm shift

听

One of the things that makes developing effective treatments for Parkinson鈥檚 disease so challenging is its complexity. While some forms are caused by genetics, others have environmental factors, and patients can show a wide range of symptoms of varying severity. Diagnosis of Parkinson鈥檚 is also currently made very late, after the disease may have been in the brain for a decade or more.

Assessing unintended consequences in AI-based neurosurgical training

Virtual reality simulators can help learners improve their technical skills faster and with no risk to patients. In the field of neurosurgery, they allow medical students to practice complex operations before using a scalpel on a real patient.

Neuro researchers receive more than $3.6M in CIHR funding

Five Neuro-led projects were awarded grants by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) this year as part of its spring funding, totaling more than $3.6M.
