Researchers at Western University use AI to predict recovery after serious brain injury
Two graduate students from Western University have developed a ground-breaking method for predicting which intensive care unit (ICU) patients will survive a severe brain injury, reports Canada’s Western University in Western News. Matthew Kolisnyk and Karnig Kazazian, PhD candidates at Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry in the lab of renowned neuroscientist Adrian Owen, combined functional magnetic resonance […]
Distinct neural codes underlie long- and short-term memory in different regions of the primate brain.
Human memory can be divided into long and short-term according to the time information can remain stored and have been associated to different brain regions. The hippocampus (HPC) has been associated with the formation of long-term memories stored as changes in the strength of synapses that can last decades. On the other hand, the Lateral […]
Video: How can understanding the neurobiology of cognition lead to new treatments for brain disorders?
Lisa Saksida, PhD, holds the Canada Research Chair in Translational Cognitive Neuroscience, Tier 1. She studies the brain’s capacity for learning, memorizing and paying attention. Through mapping the neural pathways in a healthy brain, Saksida and her team can better understand the effects of neurodegenerative disorders. She dares to ask: how can understanding the neurobiology […]
