This Is Our Fight

A battle is raging across a trillion pathways in the human brain. We know more about the body than we ever have and yet we're still just beginning to understand how to join this fight.

The Centre for Neuroscience Studies is thrilled to announce the election of Dr. Stephen Scott to the Royal Society of Canada

Join the CNS Seminar Series tomorrow, September 28 at 12-1pm to hear Dr. John Krakauer's talk on the motor system in health and disease! Dr. Krakauer will discuss results from patients with stroke and cerebellar ataxia, exploring the difference between training and learning when it comes to motor recovery and the difficulty in switching between intact and impaired learning mechanisms. Trainees can join from 1-130pm for an informal post-talk chat with Dr. Krakauer as well!
Attention all users of MRI for research! 📣Apply now for the MR Pilot Time competition--deadline extended to Friday October 7th. The MRI pilot time grant provides successful applicants with a reduced scanning rate of $150 per hour (a 70% rebate on the normal MRI scanning rate), for up to 40 hours (a potential savings of $14,000!). Contact the CNS for an application form or additional details.
Join @queensuhealth on October 25th at 1:30pm for a special Student Outreach Lecture from the 2020 recipient of the prestigious Canada Gairdner Wightman Award, Dr. Guy Rouleau. Dr. Rouleau has identified over 20 genetic risk factors predisposing individuals to a range of neurological and psychiatric brain disorders, defining novel disease mechanisms for diseases related to some of the most severe neurodegenerative conditions--including in autism, schizophrenia, and ALS. Dr. Rouleau has also pioneered the practice of Open Science.
Our Neuroscience Outreach Program is back in full swing this year, with a successful kick-off event at Grad Club last night! Stay tuned for some amazing opportunities for trainees to get involved. 🧠🏘
The Centre for Neuroscience Studies is thrilled to announce the election of Dr. Stephen Scott to the Royal Society of Canada 🏆 Dr. Scott is a long standing member of the CNS as well as the newly appointed Vice-Dean of Research in the Faculty of Health Sciences and a professor in the Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences. Dr. Scott’s research focus is on how different regions of the brain are involved in motor control and learning. He has developed a robotic device called KINARM that is now actively being used across the globe to quantify sensorimotor impairments in stroke and other neurological disorders.
