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 15:54:17 +0000 Helen Gemmrich 6151 at /neuro /neuro/channels/event/cannrt-research-forum-interdisciplinary-approaches-basic-and-clinical-research-357072 <hr /> Thu, 25 Apr 2024 19:03:53 +0000 justin.martinez-rosler@mcgill.ca 6009 at /neuro /neuro/channels/event/autism-diagnostic-observation-schedule-second-edition-ados-2-introductory-workshop-french-355209 &������;����;��&������;����;��&������;����;/��&������;����; Fri, 02 Feb 2024 22:31:43 +0000 kenneth.dyson@mcgill.ca 5939 at /neuro /neuro/channels/event/who-caregiver-skills-training-program-master-trainer-workshop-342843 &������;����;��&������;����;��&������;����;/��&������;����; Mon, 17 Oct 2022 15:20:59 +0000 vanessa.tamburro@mcgill.ca 5636 at /neuro /neuro/article/day-life-patient-care-neuro-xxceptional/day-life-neuropsychologist Julie Scorah gives us a look into her work at the ACAR Clinic and how the pandemic has changed autism care Tue, 01 Mar 2022 15:06:12 +0000 Anita Kar, Vanessa Tamburro 5363 at /neuro /neuro/article/patient-care-neuro-xxceptional/i-love-i-have-job-brings-good-world Dr. Mandy Steiman, clinical psychologist and diagnostician, talks about what drives her work, misconceptions about standardized autism assessments and why empathy is key to her practice Thu, 10 Feb 2022 14:11:49 +0000 Vanessa Tamburro 5341 at /neuro /neuro/article/research/understanding-autism-spectrum-disorders-dr-julie-scorah <p>Dr. Julie Scorah speaks to <a href="/medsimcentre/community-outreach/dementia/mcgill-cares-webcasts">McGill Cares</a> (January 27, 2021) about the signs and symptoms of autism, how it is diagnosed, available support options, and what services are available for autistic adults and for parents of autistic children.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSdpNwIFnOw">Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorders</a></p> Tue, 20 Aug 2024 17:48:03 +0000 Neuro Communications 6126 at /neuro /neuro/article/research/dr-julie-scorah-barriers-care-autistic-children-curious-neuron <p>ACAR Associate Director Julie Scorah speaks to the Curious Neuron podcast about how to make autism resources more accessible to the families that need them.</p> <p><strong>Where to listen 🎧:</strong></p> Tue, 20 Aug 2024 17:53:43 +0000 Neuro Communications 6127 at /neuro /neuro/article/research/language-regression-communication-development-and-autism <p>In this podcast (May 23, 2022), we talk to Dr. Mandy Steiman, clinical psychologist at the<a href="/neuro/research/acar-1" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong> </strong>Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR)</a>.</p> Tue, 20 Aug 2024 17:40:23 +0000 Neuro Communications 6122 at /neuro /neuro/article/research/health-matters-muhc-foundation-show <p>Host and Director of Communications & Marketing at the MUHC Foundation Tarah Schwartz showcases powerful patient stories and speaks with the physicians and researchers on the front lines of today’s urgent medical challenges.
