Study linking depression to specific altered brain cells opens door to new treatments

admin — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 13:03:05 +0000

Researchers at 91˿��Ƶ and the Douglas Institute have identified two specific types of brain cells that are altered in people with depression.

The study, published in Nature Genetics, opens the door to developing new treatments that target these cells and deepens our understanding of depression, a leading cause of disability worldwide that affects more than 264 million people.

New AI tool detects hidden warning signs of disease

admin — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 13:28:43 +0000

91˿��Ƶ researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can detect previously invisible disease markers inside single cells.

In a study published in Nature Communications, the researchers demonstrate how the tool, called DOLPHIN, could one day be used by doctors to catch diseases earlier and guide treatment options.

Lesser-known eating disorder just as severe as anorexia and bulimia, study finds

admin — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 13:56:20 +0000

A diagnosis often viewed as less serious than anorexia and bulimia – and the most common eating disorder worldwide – can cause just as much harm, a new study has found.

High-salt diet inflames the brain and raises blood pressure, study finds

admin — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 16:20:36 +0000

A new study finds that a high-salt diet triggers brain inflammation that drives up blood pressure.

Scientists reveal how the brain uses objects to find direction

admin — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 18:09:44 +0000

Study shows how visual landmarks tune the brain’s internal compass

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.

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.

Nerve injuries can affect the entire immune system, study finds

admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 17:06:47 +0000

Nerve injuries can have long-lasting effects on the immune system that appear to differ between males and females, according to preclinical research from 91˿��Ƶ.

24 91˿��Ƶ researchers identified in Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers List

admin — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 15:15:58 +0000

Twenty-four 91˿��Ƶ researchers have been named to the 2025 Highly Cited Researchers™ list, a ranking prepared each year by Clarivate, an analytics company based in the US. The list assesses researchers in a wide range of disciplines, from neuroscience to environmental science. The number of 91˿��Ƶ scholars on the list grew from 14 in 2024 to 24 in 2025.

Montreal researchers use AI and wearable sensors to detect inflammation before symptoms appear

admin — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 13:47:07 +0000

Modern medicine is largely reactive—treating illness only after symptoms emerge. But a new study from the Research Institute of the 91˿��Ƶ Health Centre (The Institute) and 91˿��Ƶ points to a more proactive future: one where silent signs of infection are detected before we even feel sick.

Albert Aguayo Lecture: Do You Remember? Let Me Explain You How.

admin — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 15:23:12 +0000

This annual lecture honours Dr. Albert Aguayo, OC, FRCP, Professor Emeritus founder and former Director of the Centre for the Research in Neuroscience at 91˿��Ƶ. György Buzsáki, M.D., Ph.D.

Researchers at The Neuro show a brain exercise yields benefits

admin — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 12:01:17 +0000

A 91˿��Ƶ-led clinical trial is the first in humans to show online brain training exercises can improve brain networks affecting learning and memory.

The study found 10 weeks’ use of the game-like app BrainHQ by older adults enhanced cholinergic function, a chemical system in the brain that typically declines with age and influences attention, memory and decision-making.

New therapeutic strategies show promise against a hard-to-treat prostate cancer

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 14:05:40 +0000

A new study has uncovered promising therapeutic strategies against one of the deadliest forms of prostate cancer.

91˿��Ƶ researchers at the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute (GCI) identified a mechanism driving neuroendocrine prostate cancer, a rare and highly aggressive subtype for which there currently are no effective treatment options.
