On Sept. 2, members of the St. Andrew's Society of Montreal visited The Neuro to present a donation of $27,000 to support international research collaboration between The Neuro and The University of Edinburgh, a partnership they have supported since 2019.

The targeted areas for research are autism and neurodevelopmental disorders, intellectual disabilities (with particular focus on studies using human induced pluripotent stem cells), and neurodegenerative diseases.

Thank you to the St. Andrew’s Society of Montreal for your continued support.

Are all white matter lesions created the same? A new study from The Neuro suggests not, with important implications for several neurological diseases.

White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are lesions that are common neuroimaging markers of cerebrovascular pathology in aging and neurodegeneration. The pathology of these WMHs were assumed to be the same and emphasis put on where they appear in the brain.

Raul Gonzalez-Gomez, a postdoctoral researcher in Yasser Iturria-Medina's lab at The Neuro, led a study published in Neurology that analyzed longitudinal MRI data from individuals with normal aging and neurodegenerative diseases. The researchers identified three distinct subtypes of WMH evolution, showing that these lesions are not homogeneous but may represent biologically distinct patterns with different neurobiological and clinical significance.

The findings suggest that lesion composition—not simply lesion burden or anatomical location—may provide important information about the clinical impact of WMHs.

Despite The Neuro's old and cramped spaces, its medical staff do an outstanding job delivering quality care. In this video, assistant head nurse Stephan Johnson describes how staff use teamwork to overcome the challenges posed by an outdated building.

"Teamwork is everything. This patient is not just your patient, it's everyone's patient. It's obviously beneficial for the team but it's definitely beneficial for the patient and family."

For Paula Trefiak, a ballet dancer and mother of three, the winter of 2016 was harsher than most. Trefiak was diagnosed with ALS in February and given two to five years to live.

But thanks to The Neuro CRU, she was able to join a clinical trial and try a drug in development for her specific type of ALS.

“I started to notice I was having a better sleep,” Trefiak said. “I wasn’t constantly waking up in agony for hours on end with cramping.”

Today, more than 10 years after her diagnosis, she can do many of the things she was forced to give up, including dancing.

An Ontario family is raising money and working with scientists at The Neuro to develop a treatment for their infant daughter.

Eleven-month-old Rylee was born with a neurodevelopmental genetic disorder called FBXO11, a condition so rare that, at the time of her diagnosis, there were only 84 known cases worldwide. It is caused by a mutation in the FBOXO11 gene, which encodes a protein critical in the early stages of brain development.

Neuroscientist Thomas Durcan is leading a project that will use Rylee's blood sample to grow brain cells with Rylee's mutation. These can be used to better understand how the mutation causes symptoms and test ways to prevent them.

This summer the McGill Panorama Exploration Camp visited the lab of Edward Ruthazer and the Early Drug Discovery Unit to learn about neuroscience. The Panorama program provides an exciting opportunity for teenagers to explore possible degrees and career paths by visiting different parts of McGill for workshops, activities, and tours.

In this workshop the students got hands-on experience in the lab where scientists study how the nervous system forms connections in early development. They also learned how researchers are using human cells to develop the next generation of life-changing drugs.

Cet été, les participants au camp d’exploration « Panorama » de l’Université McGill ont visité le laboratoire d’Edward Ruthazer et l’unité de recherche précoce sur les médicaments afin de se familiariser avec les neurosciences. Le programme Panorama offre aux adolescents une occasion passionnante d’explorer les possibilités de diplômes et de parcours professionnels en visitant différents lieux de l’Université McGill pour y participer à des ateliers, des activités et des visites guidées.

Au cours de cet atelier, les élèves ont pu acquérir une expérience pratique au sein du laboratoire où les scientifiques étudient comment le système nerveux établit des connexions au cours des premiers stades du développement. Ils ont également appris comment les chercheurs utilisent des cellules humaines pour mettre au point la prochaine génération de médicaments qui changeront la vie des gens.
