Three professors from the School of Rehabilitation Sciences receive a $ 25,000 grant for a research project
Professor Roanne Thomas, Mary Egan and Stéphane Poitras received a grant for their project entitled “Community Based Primary Health Care & Lymphedema: Investigating the Problem and Potential for Care.” They are now organizing a meeting of researchers from across Canada to facilitate the preparation of a team’s grant LOI in March. This event will bring together a variety of stakeholders and researchers, dedicated to indentifying and describing both the scope of the lymphedema problem in Canada, as well as current and potential best practices for Community-Based Primary Health Care.

Research conducted at ÉBRI Clinical Neuroscience Lab gets published in a prestigious journal of neuroscience
The results of a recent study conducted at the Élisabeth Bruyère Research Institute have been published in a top neuroscience journal (Neurobiology of Aging). Authors include psychology doctoral student Marielle Young-Bernier, Patrick Davidson and leading investigator for the study. Prof. François Tremblay, of the School of Rehabilitation at the Faculty of Health Sciences. The paper describes — for the first time in a large cohort of participants — a selective decrease with age in a neurophysiological marker of cholinergic function. The marker, short latency afferent inhibition (SAI), is derived from transcranial magnetic stimulation, a non-invasive brain stimulation technique.
The study also shows that age-related variations in SAI level, reflecting cholinergic function, are strongly correlated with corresponding changes in the speed of sensori-motor processing, as measured in reaction time tests. The study was performed at the Clinical Neuroscience lab.
