Alzheimer’s disease disproportionately affects women, who represent about two-thirds of those diagnosed with the late-onset type of the disease. Previous research has shown Alzheimer’s is also more severe and progresses more rapidly in women, and wo …
Three years after its legalization, medical assistance in dying – known as MAiD – remains a murky subject for health-care providers and patients to navigate. However, some of that confusion has been gaining clarity in recent weeks thanks to new guidelines regarding organ donation for patients opting to end their lives.
Spending hours and hours deep in your work? Find out how to use your free time as an escape when Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry professor David Spence takes his turn on Read. Watch. Listen.
Kalley Armstrong might justifiably boast about her pedigree – be it about her stellar hockey career with one of North America’s top college teams or as granddaughter of a Hockey Hall of Fame player. But even if hockey is in her DNA, boasting is not.
Two campgrounds in ruins. Houses lifted and shifted on their foundations. Thousands of trees felled as if by a giant meteorological axe.
All told, as many as 15 tornadoes swept through northern Saskatchewan and Alberta during the Canada Day weekend, new findings from Western’s Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) suggest.
Geoffrey Wood’s research strives to understand and explain how complex organizational and business systems work.
But one real-world issue – the tribulation of getting car insurance upon his move to Western from England – is a complication even he has a tough time resolving.
For some people, marijuana causes a rewarding high. For others, it produces serious psychiatric side effects. Whether a person enjoys the experience or suffers adverse impact from cannabis may well be a function of which region of the brain it’s lighting up, Western researchers have determined.
Patients and caregivers suffering from the agitation that often accompanies Alzheimer disease may find much-needed relief from a pair of interventional studies led by a Western researcher.
NASA has thrown its financial support behind project Dragonfly– a drone mission co-led by Western planetary geologist Catherine Neish – to explore Saturn’s massive moon Titan.
Western astrophysicists have found evidence of the direct formation of black holes that do not need to emerge from a star remnant – a finding that may provide scientists with an explanation for the presence of extremely massive black holes at the earliest stage of our universe.
A new Brain and Mind Institute study is offering insights into how the our brains process a world in which the images of people, places and things are constantly shrinking, expanding and changing on the retina at the back of our eyes. These findings may hold further keys to perfecting technology in everything from robots to self-driving cars.
Join Western as it celebrates its fourth annual Asteroid Day from 5:30-11 p.m. Saturday. Geosciences Collection Curator Alysha McNeil will be in attendance to inspect potential meteorites.
Western Libraries is now home to a digitized database of four of North America’s most influential newsmagazines of the past 150 years.
