If you have ever laughed at a joke despite not finding it funny, or laughed at something and weren’t sure why, you have proven that comprehending and appreciating humour are two very different things. Western University neuroscientists have now discovere …
Inspiring Diversity in STEM will host its third biennial conference on March 21-22. The event is supported by BrainsCAN.
Fantasy. Conspiracy. Eric adventure. And that’s only to get things started when Psychology professor John Paul Minda takes a turn on Read. Watch. Listen.
New insights into brain diseases and disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and schizophrenia may find their way into clinical practice faster and more efficiently thanks to a new open-access database supported by Western’s BrainsCAN, according to a recently published paper in the journal eLife.
Adolescents are the greatest consumers of calorie-rich ‘junk’ foods. During puberty, many children have an insatiable appetite as rapid growth requires lots of energy. Heightened metabolism and growth spurts can protect against obesity, to an extent. But excessively eating high-calorie junk foods and increasingly sedentary lifestyles can outweigh any metabolic protection.
Western faculty, postdocs and other researchers are heading to class next week to better understand how they can get their ideas “out into the world” and into the hands of those who need it most.
As a neuroscientist my research centres on how modern day ‘obesogenic,’ or obesity-promoting, diets change the brain. I want to understand how what we eat alters our behaviour and whether brain changes can be mitigated by other lifestyle factors.
At 20, Wagner Souza was diagnosed with two strong auto-immune disorders presenting leukemia-like symptoms, He required 13 pills a day to keep him alive from 2004-06. Then, hope arrived.
BrainsCAN, Alzheimer Society London and Middlesex partnership helping improve quality of life for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
Lefties and righties may put pen to paper from different sides of the page, but when it comes to numbers, everything adds up using the same point in the brain, according to a recent Western study.
For the first time, the cerebellum’s involvement in cognition can now be examined in comprehensive detail thanks to a newly released map by Western researchers.
