This overactivity may contribute to chronic neurodegeneration and worsen brain disorders. Understanding how this process, called reactive gliosis, is controlled could help scientists better understand brain diseases and improve treatments.  </p> Tue, 03 Sep 2024 11:54:17 -0400 /hbhl/article/research-spotlight-research/explore-connect-lead-opportunities-hbhl-trainee-committee <p>Are you passionate about neuroscience and eager to get involved in the McGill community? 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 15:17:05 -0400 /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 10:27:38 -0400 /hbhl/article/research-spotlight-research/exploring-ataxia-charlevoix-saguenay-breakthrough-gene-therapy <p>Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) is a rare hereditary disease that significantly impacts motor control, coordination, and stiffness, particularly in the legs. This condition, which first appears in children from two to five years old and progresses slowly, was initially identified in the Charlevoix-Saguenay region of Quebec in 2000. Though rare, affecting only one in 1,500 people in the region and with roughly 320 cases in Quebec, ARSACS is increasingly recognized globally as the second most common form of Ataxia.</p> Wed, 03 Jul 2024 10:22:54 -0400 /neuro/fr/article/soutenir-les-personnes-autistes-en-transition-vers-lage-adulte Alors qu’elles arrivent à l’âge adulte, les personnes autistes se trouvent confrontées aux mêmes objectifs et aux mêmes difficultés que les autres.
