All these projects and more were made possible by a campaign that has raised $203.9 million for groundbreaking neuroscience research and patient care.</p> Tue, 11 Nov 2025 17:53:18 +0000 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ /ipn/node/12704 <h2><b>Findings could help tailor interventions to encourage physical activity in older people with heart and blood flow conditions </b></h2> <p>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.</p> Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:32:32 +0000 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ /ipn/node/12706 <h2>Demonstration of an AI-powered tool during a live surgery at The Neuro</h2> <p> </p> <p>A surgical device powered by artificial intelligence (AI) was demonstrated live for the first time at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) in a historic step forward for the field of precision neurosurgery. <b>SENTRYâ„¢</b>, an innovative technology developed by Montreal-based Reveal and its university partners, can differentiate cancerous tissue from healthy tissue in real time, offering tangible hope to patients for better outcomes.</p> Thu, 25 Sep 2025 20:13:27 +0000 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ /ipn/node/12708 <h2><b>Weston Family Foundation grant will fund the first ultra-high-sensitivity whole body PET/CT scanner in Canada</b></h2> <p>A groundbreaking project led by Dr. Pedro Rosa-Neto at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ has received a major boost thanks to a $10-million grant from the Weston Family Foundation.</p> <p>The funding is part of a $20-million initiative by the foundation to support highly ambitious scientific endeavors under its Healthy Aging Strategy, comprised of the Weston Brain Institute and the Weston Family Microbiome Initiative.</p> Tue, 23 Sep 2025 15:27:40 +0000 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ /ipn/node/12710 <h2><b>Study shows how visual landmarks tune the brain’s internal compass</b></h2> <p>We take our understanding of where we are for granted, until we lose it. When we get lost in nature or a new city, our eyes and brains kick into gear, seeking familiar objects that tell us where we are.</p> <p>How our brains distinguish objects from background when finding direction, however, was largely a mystery. A new study provides valuable insight into this process, with possible implications for disorientation-causing conditions such as Alzheimer’s.</p> Thu, 11 Sep 2025 18:09:44 +0000 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ /ipn/node/12712 <h2><b>Society recognizes distinguished Canadians who have made remarkable contributions to their academic fields and public life</b></h2> <p>Sylvain Baillet, PhD, a global leader in brain imaging and systems neuroscience, has been inducted into the Royal Society of Canada, one of the nation’s highest academic honours.</p> Thu, 04 Sep 2025 14:34:58 +0000 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ /ipn/node/12714 <h2><b>Study has implications beyond medical education, suggesting other fields could benefit from AI-enhanced training</b></h2> <p> </p> <p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a powerful new tool in training and education, including in the field of neurosurgery.
