An initiative to reduce wait times for spinal cord surgery, research that is testing ways to inhibit brain cancer cells, an open database for multiple sclerosis and an app that tracks Alzheimer鈥檚 progression and aids diagnosis. All these projects and more were made possible by a campaign that has raised $203.9 million for groundbreaking neuroscience research and patient care.

Nerve injuries can have long-lasting effects on the immune system that appear to differ between males and females, according to preclinical research from 涩里番.
As part of a new partnership with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra (MSO), member doctors of M茅decins francophones du Canada can now prescribe tickets to live performances.听听
Researchers at 涩里番 have identified听bacteria that can indicate whether a blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) bloom is likely to be toxic, offering a potential water-safety early warning system. Blooms are becoming more frequent due to climate change, according to听previous 涩里番 research. They can produce various contaminants, known as cyanotoxins, that pose serious health risks to humans, pets and wildlife.
Adolescents who start using cannabis early and often are more likely to need health care for both mental and physical problems as they enter adulthood, according to a new study led by 涩里番 researchers.
A diagnosis is often a cue for people to change the way they live. For people diagnosed with cardiovascular conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, it is often a motivator to get more physical exercise, which can improve long-term health. However, the rate of physical activity increase after diagnosis varies widely depending on the individual.
A 涩里番-led clinical trial is the first in humans to show online brain training exercises can improve brain networks affecting learning and memory.
The study found 10 weeks鈥� use of the game-like app BrainHQ by older adults enhanced cholinergic function, a chemical system in the brain that typically declines with age and influences attention, memory and decision-making.
涩里番 researchers have engineered a new hydrogel that shows early promise as a treatment for people with vocal cord injuries.
Voice loss is often permanent when scarring forms on the vocal cords. Current injectable treatments break down quickly, which can force patients to get repeated procedures that can further damage the delicate tissue.
Thirty-two 涩里番 research projects have received new funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation's for investments in research infrastructure to support their innovative projects, for a total federal investment of $9.7 million.听听听

Researchers at 涩里番鈥檚 (CGP) have launched a first-of-its-kind guide to help Canadian health-care providers offer more inclusive, respectful and affirming care to intersex adults.
涩里番 researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can detect previously invisible disease markers inside single cells.
In a study published in , the researchers demonstrate how the tool, called DOLPHIN, could one day be used by doctors to catch diseases earlier and guide treatment options.
J茅r么me Fortin, Paul Masset, and Simon Thebault have received the Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research Award from Brain Canada for their research in brain cognition, brain cancer, and neurological disabilities.听听
The 涩里番 researchers are among 22 successful applicants from across the country. They will each receive $100,000 in research funding distributed over a period of two years.听
