Understanding the brain remains an immense but crucial challenge for understanding and treating neurodegenerative diseases.
In this article from CTV News Montreal, Dr. Gustavo Turecki and Viviane Poupon, President of Brain Canada, share their perspectives on the advances and challenges in research on neurodegenerative diseases and mental health disorders.
Dr. Turecki explains that access to the bank of 4,000 brains at the Douglas Research Centre is essential for advancing research on diseases like Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia. These efforts could not only lead to a better understanding of how the brain functions but also pave the way for new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
« We still understand very little about how the brain works: where in the brain certain processes are regulated; how our emotions, our behaviours are regulated; and what happens when things don’t work well.»
