A new study challenges conventional belief about Alzheimer's, finding very minor neuronal and synaptic loss in patients at various stages of the disease.
McGill researchers reveal being bilingual may benefit children on the autism spectrum when it comes to executive function.
Researchers report an MRI test to measure smaller volumes in specific hippocampal regions could be used to detect Alzheimer's disease.
A new study provides evidence to support the long standing view that human speech and music may have roots in biological processes that are shared across a variety of different animals.
Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, researchers were able to increase and decrease people's enjoyment of music; and desire to listen to more.
McGill researchers report RNA that encodes synaptic proteins degrades more rapidly in Alzheimer's patients.
Researchers from McGill University shed light on how motor signals help sharpen our ability to decipher complex sound flows.
McGill researchers report those who suffer from traumatic experiences during childhood, like severe abuse, show significant abnormalities in the structure and cell function in the anterior cingulate cortex, an area of the brain associated with emotion and mood regulation. Researchers believe these changes may contribute to depressive disorders and suicidal ideations, often considered a long term effect of trauma suffered during early life.
The immune response varies greatly, depending on the time of day a parasitic infection occurs, a new study reports. Researchers note infections that occur early at night were more successful as this is a time when the immune response is strongest. Parasitic infection thrives when it is able to elicit a strong immune response.
Researchers identify network inefficiencies in the auditory cortex by the age of 6 months in infants who go on to be diagnosed with autism.
McGill University researchers have developed a deep learning algorithm capable of detecting signatures of dementia in patients two years before the onset of symptoms by reviewing a single PET brain scan.
McGill university researchers have devised a new odor identification test that could help doctors predict those at risk of Alzheimer's and track the progression of the disease.
