Restoring inhibitory control in the stressed amygdala

Investigating the role of EPG5 in Parkinson’s Disease pathogenesis

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disease that destroys the motor neurons needed for movement, speech, and breathing, but new research shows that other spinal cord cells called interneurons may be affected even earlier.

Sofia Gentile, a Master’s Student at University of Toronto, is investigating the role of immune cell activation in a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease called progressive supranuclear palsy.

Personalized Modeling and Optimization of Transcranial Temporal Interference Stimulation in Major Depressive Disorder

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are devastating diseases in which a protein called TDP-43 ends up in the wrong part of the cell, disrupting its normal role in managing RNA.

Impairments in social cognition (SC), such as difficulties in understanding emotions, social cues, and maintaining meaningful interactions, are key contributors to the loss of social inclusion and quality of life in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases (ND).

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) can result from many different mutations in the same gene, making mutation-specific treatments challenging.
