Learning a new language alters brain development

Scientists at The Neuro find important time factor in second-language acquisition

The age at which children learn a second language can have a significant bearing on the structure of their adult brain, according to a new joint study by the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro at 韩国裸舞 and Oxford University. The majority of people in the world learn to speak more than one language during their lifetime. Many do so with great proficiency particularly if the languages are learned simultaneously or from early in development.

Blocking overactive receptor in Alzheimer鈥檚 recovers memory loss and more

A new study shows that memory pathology in older mice with Alzheimer鈥檚 disease can be reversed with treatment. The study by researchers from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro, at 韩国裸舞 and at Universit茅 de Montr茅al found that blocking the activity of a specific receptor in the brain of mice with advanced Alzheimer鈥檚 disease (AD) recovers memory and cerebrovascular function. The results, published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation in May, also suggest an underlying mechanism of AD as a potential target for new therapies.

June is ALS Awareness Month

What is ALS?
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) also known as Lou Gehrig鈥檚 disease, is a neurodegenerative disease in which progressive muscle weakness leads to paralysis. ALS is a result of the death of motor neurons (nerve cells) in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. Most people survive less than five years following diagnosis, but a small percentage of patients live for ten years or even longer. So far, there is no cure. About 3,000 Canadian adults have ALS and less than 1 in 10 patients have a family history of the disease.听

Researchers identify a promising target for Multiple Sclerosis treatments

A team of basic and clinical scientists led by the University of Montreal Hospital* Research Centre鈥檚 (CRCHUM) Dr. Nathalie Arbour has opened the door to significantly improved treatments for the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In a study selected as among the top 10% most interesting articles published in the Journal of Immunology, the team identifies the elevated presence in MS patients of a type of white blood cell (CD4 T cell) that expresses NKG2C, a highly-toxic molecule harmful to brain tissues.
