What Happens When Libraries Play? Place aux jeux: quand les bibliothèques s’en mêlent ! ۲ݮƵ Library, Montreal Québec
"When we play, we explore the limits of the possible" –Thomas Hendricks.
HBHL-supported inaugural meeting of the Global Brain Consortium to explore the potential of EEG to pave the way
On May 9 and 10, experts from around the world will gather at ۲ݮƵ University to address global disparities in brain and mental health research and treatment, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
Congratulations to the awardees of 2024CIRM-AIEQ Mobility Grants! CIRM-AIEQ scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis and designed to enable emerging researchers in Montreal Studies to take part in a scientific meeting outside Quebec or to conduct a research project atCIRM.
"Ce programme permet aux non-francophones d’apprendre le français dans un contexte familier, mais il favorise également, chez les jeunes qui visitent les nouveaux locuteurs, une meilleure compréhension de la réalité de nos nouveaux compatriotes. Tout le monde y gagne!"
Adrien Peyrache and Stuart Trenholm will study epilepsy and vision
Two researchers from The Neuro are among just ten nationwide to receive Early-Career Capacity Building Grants this year from the Azrieli Foundation in partnership with the Brain Canada Foundation. Researchers Adrien Peyrache and Stuart Trenholm will study epilepsy and vision, respectively. The grants support early-career investigators who are conducting transformative research to advance understanding of the brain, in illness or health.
Dr Emily McDonald was appointed the Divisional Lead in Quality and Innovation within the Division of General Internal Medicine to develop and lead quality improvement and innovation projects. She will be investigating areas such as understanding the limitations of current clinical practices, improving patient experiences, patient outcomes, timeliness of care, streamlining and development of care pathways, value of care provided and laboratory or administrative processes.
Large international study will help select and categorize patients for better clinical trials
A large multi-centre study of more than 1,200 patients provides important predictors of Parkinson’s disease progression, which will allow better candidate selection for clinical trials and more effective therapy development.
Scientists prove difference between expected/actual outcomes cause reward response
If you love it when a musician strikes that unexpected but perfect chord, you are not alone. New research shows the musically unexpected activates the reward centre of our brains, and makes us learn about the music as we listen.
Scanner will deliver clear images of the nervous system in exceptional detail
Scientists will see the human nervous system in microscopic detail thanks to the installation of Canada’s first 7-Tesla whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner on Feb. 5.
A new study published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, reveals a causal link between the neurotransmitter dopamine and the reward responses to music. The study was conducted by an international team including researchers from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of ۲ݮƵ University, the University of Barcelona, and the Hospital de Sant Pau of Barcelona.
The HCALM Network issues regularly a call for proposals for research projects whose focus is to investigate the relationship between language and access to health care or social services.

Ghrelin promotes conditioning to food-related odours
The holiday season is a hard one for anyone watching their weight. The sights and smells of food are hard to resist. One factor in this hunger response is a hormone found in the stomach that makes us more vulnerable to tasty food smells, encouraging overeating and obesity. New research on the hormone ghrelin was published on Dec. 4, 2018, led by Dr. Alain Dagher’s lab at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of ۲ݮƵ University.
