Past research has shown that people who use caudate nucleus-dependent navigation strategies have decreased grey matter and lower functional brain activity in the hippocampus.  Wed, 20 May 2015 16:18:47 +0000 cynthia.lee@mcgill.ca 22558 at /newsroom Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month /newsroom/channels/news/multiple-sclerosis-awareness-month-250842 Mon, 11 May 2015 18:08:34 +0000 melody.enguix@mcgill.ca 22536 at /newsroom Understanding the barrier protecting the brain /newsroom/channels/news/understanding-barrier-protecting-brain-247704 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 17:03:35 +0000 melody.enguix@mcgill.ca 22459 at /newsroom Tango could benefit Parkinson's disease patients /newsroom/channels/news/tango-could-benefit-parkinsons-disease-patients-246582 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:00:16 +0000 melody.enguix@mcgill.ca 22412 at /newsroom Blame it on your brain: salt and hypertension /newsroom/channels/news/blame-it-your-brain-salt-and-hypertension-241270 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 16:00:10 +0000 cynthia.lee@mcgill.ca 21949 at /newsroom Total recall: the science behind it /newsroom/channels/news/total-recall-science-behind-it-240150 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 16:09:48 +0000 raphael.larocque-cyr@mcgill.ca 21529 at /newsroom Le cerveau est accro aux calories /newsroom/channels/news/le-cerveau-est-accro-aux-calories-239696 <p> Wed, 22 Oct 2014 20:23:31 +0000 kaviyanka.selvasandran@mail.mcgill.ca 21335 at /newsroom McGill-led projects awarded Brain Canada grants /newsroom/channels/news/mcgill-led-projects-awarded-brain-canada-grants-238862 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 15:13:24 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 21129 at /newsroom Memory and Alzheimer’s: towards a better comprehension /newsroom/channels/news/memory-and-alzheimer%E2%80%99s-towards-better-comprehension-238635 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 17:40:42 +0000 christopher.chipello@mcgill.ca 21092 at /newsroom Important advance in brain mapping and memory /newsroom/channels/news/important-advance-brain-mapping-and-memory-237932 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 17:22:06 +0000 raphael.larocque-cyr@mcgill.ca 21017 at /newsroom A tiny molecule may help battle depression /newsroom/channels/news/tiny-molecule-may-help-battle-depression-236996 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 19:09:28 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 20846 at /newsroom Uploading humanity to a computer /newsroom/channels/news/uploading-humanity-computer-236702 Sat, 17 May 2014 13:28:51 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 20766 at /newsroom What songbirds tell us about how we learn /newsroom/channels/news/what-songbirds-tell-us-about-how-we-learn-235136 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 14:43:47 +0000 raphael.larocque-cyr@mcgill.ca 20574 at /newsroom How the brain recognizes familiar music /newsroom/channels/news/how-brain-recognizes-familiar-music-234011 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:57:37 +0000 cynthia.lee@mcgill.ca 19839 at /newsroom
