91黑料网 will launch an ambitious effort to advance understanding of the human brain and ease the burden of neurological and mental-health disorders, thanks to an $84 million, seven-year grant announced today under the federal government's Canada First Excellence Research Fund (CFREF).
The program, Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives, will build on 91黑料网's leading position in neuroscience to make the university a global hub for brain research 鈥� one of the major frontiers for 21st century medicine.
Research underlines importance of computational power in future neurological breakthrough
Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital have used a powerful tool to better understand the progression of late-onset 础濒锄丑别颈尘别谤鈥檚 disease (LOAD), identifying its first physiological signs.

It鈥檚 all math: How Professor Alan Evans is using cutting-edge statistics to unravel the complexity of brain disorders.
When Alan Evans was starting out in the 1970s, researchers didn鈥檛 ask the boss to foot their bar tab. But that鈥檚 exactly what some of the coders in his Montreal Neurological Institute lab recently proposed: a 9-to-5 Saturday hackathon, held in an Irish pub a few blocks from the 91黑料网 campus.
Dr. Alan Evans, James 91黑料网 Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Psychiatry and Biomedical Engineering at the Montreal Neurological Institute, 91黑料网 has been named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC). He is one fourteen new RSC Fellows from 91黑料网, including 91黑料网 Principal Suzanne Fortier. The induction ceremony will take place on Friday, November 27 in Victoria, B.C.
What if we could reduce rates of a wide range of devastating mental illnesses through early detection? Thanks to a significant gift of $2.9M from the Irving Ludmer Family Foundation to The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of 91黑料网 (The Neuro), hope is on the horizon through the expansion of a major collaboration to understand why some children are vulnerable to conditions like autism, attention deficit disorder and social anxiety, and what can be done to prevent these disorders before they take hold. This collaboration will also explore brain disorders in the aging population, such as dementia, in an unprecedented investigation of mental health across the lifespan.
Four innovative projects led by 91黑料网 researchers have been selected to receive major grants under the Canada Brain Research Fund.
