Brought together as part of a new initiative called VINEx, created by Rocket Science Health, a Victoria-based medical devices company, the group is aiming to lead the charge in understanding how viruses invade the brain – an area of study that has received relatively little attention.</p> Thu, 13 Aug 2020 23:22:39 +0000 amelia.souffrant@mail.mcgill.ca 233898 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/new-laboratory-advance-research-3d-brain-modelling-322961 <p>Launching on June 26, 2020, the <a href="https://bigbrainproject.org/hiball.html">Helmholtz International BigBrain Analytics Learning Laboratory</a> (HIBALL) will work to create 3D brain models at an unprecedented cellular-level resolution.</p> Mon, 22 Jun 2020 21:58:41 +0000 amelia.souffrant@mail.mcgill.ca 218389 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/serotonin-linked-somatic-awareness-condition-long-thought-be-imaginary-297893 <div> <p>An international team spearheaded by researchers at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ has discovered a biological mechanism that could explain heightened somatic awareness, a condition where patients experience physical discomforts for which there is no physiological explanation.</p></div> Wed, 19 Jun 2019 14:30:27 +0000 krysta.veneruz@mail.mcgill.ca 170391 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/molecule-shown-repair-damaged-axons-266833 <p>A foray into plant biology led one researcher to discover that a natural molecule can repair axons, the thread-like projections that carry electrical signals between cells. Axonal damage is the major culprit underlying disability in conditions such as spinal cord injury and stroke. </p> Wed, 08 Mar 2017 20:26:31 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 26765 at /newsroom /newsroom/stefano-stifani Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 23682 at /newsroom /newsroom/ronald-schondorf Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 23834 at /newsroom /newsroom/gilles-plourde Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 23618 at /newsroom /newsroom/josephine-nalbantoglu Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 23600 at /newsroom /newsroom/edith-hamel Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 22916 at /newsroom /newsroom/marcelo-t-berlim Thu, 19 Dec 2019 19:35:06 +0000 Anonymous 24072 at /newsroom /newsroom/alain-ptito Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 23656 at /newsroom /newsroom/edward-ruthazer Thu, 19 Dec 2019 19:35:06 +0000 Anonymous 22666 at /newsroom /newsroom/alexander-thiel Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 24030 at /newsroom
