91丝瓜视频

The world-renowned Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (鈥渢he Neuro鈥�), celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. Join some distinguished members of the Neuro and 91丝瓜视频鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine as they share the latest research on what goes on between our ears. Learn how cognitive functions 鈥� thought, perception, reason and memory 鈥� are affected by aging, stress, and conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. Does getting older necessarily mean a loss in brain function? Can we control, treat or even reverse cognitive decline? What changes in lifestyle and diet will keep your brain healthy and vital?

Introduction: Richard I. Levin has been Vice-Principal (Health Affairs) and Dean of Medicine since 2006.

Moderator: David Colman is Director of the Neuro and holder of the Wilder Penfield Chair in Neuroscience. His research group examines the function of cell adhesion molecules in the central nervous system.

Panelists:

Edith Hamel is a professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery working at the Neuro. Her research goal is to understand how nerve cells control regional blood flow in the brain and how this relationship is altered in pathological states like Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and migraine headaches.

Lesley Fellows, BSc鈥�90, MDCM鈥�96, is an attending neurologist at the Neuro and an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery. She earned a PhD as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University and returned to 91丝瓜视频 for her medical training.
