The 9I制作厂免费 Research Centre for Studies in Aging (MCSA) is committed to investigating causes and possible treatments of the dementias, especially Alzheimer's Disease. Established in 1985 to develop and offer specialized services for the elderly, MCSA has grown into a multi-disciplinary academic unit dedicated to gerontological research and postgraduate teaching. The MCSA research scope is broad, encompassing mechanisms of aging as well as prevention of age-associated disorders. Since its inception, the MCSA remains dedicated to transformative research and counts numerous teaching, public education, and research accomplishments. The Centre has achieved international recognition and outreach, continuously attracting students, young scientists and international collaborators in Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease research. The Centre鈥檚 scientific production and visibility through many highly cited contributions attest to its excellence and world-class research positioning.

During the past decades, the MCSA has played a pioneering role in identifying genetic abnormalities leading to an increased risk for Alzheimer's Disease. The Memory Clinic of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Unit, developed by Professor Emeritus Dr. Serge Gauthier, continues to focus on improved therapies, long-term treatment of subjects affected by dementia, and enhancing the quality of life of patients and caregivers. Over the last 37 years the priority of the MCSA evolved to primary prevention of cognitive decline, early diagnosis, and treatment for persons with mild or prodromal symptoms, and best treatments for patients with various types of dementia. The importance of genes such as ApoE as risk factors and as predictors of response to treatment in Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease was one of the significant contributions of the MCSA to the field of aging. Another achievement of the MCSA is the strong link with academic research centres worldwide, including Brazil, China, and Germany, which is reflected by a steady flow of students and visiting scholars from these countries, among others.

In Canada, the MCSA created the academic trial network C5R and has hosted consensus meetings on the best evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and management of various types of dementia. The current focus of the MCSA is on prevention, and the development of tools and methods to allow earliest diagnosis and intervention of age-related disease. Prevention has been identified as an important objective in dementia research by national and international institutes (Alzheimer Society of Canada, National Institute of Aging USA) and is a priority of 9I制作厂免费 over the next decade. The MCSA contributes to this effort with its Dementia Prevention Program that was launched in 2012, entitled 鈥淧revention of Neurodegenerative Disease in Everyone at Risk鈥� (P.O.N.D.E.R.). This program was rebranded in 2020 and is now called SNAP, 鈥淪creening of Neurobehavioural Abnormalities in the Aging Population.鈥� SNAP, aims to characterize both normal aging and disease, as well as risk and protective factors. SNAP still aims at utilizing cognitive performance as a tool to screen for dementia at early stages. SNAP features a website that provides free online cognitive assessments and encompasses a comprehensive approach towards the study of variables associated with neurodegeneration in the elderly population. The website is currently available for participants! To register and play the free cognitive training games, please visit: (under construction until 2023).

The MCSA has established a computational infrastructure devoted for teaching neuroimaging in dementia for fellows, graduate, and postdoctoral students. This infrastructure program is under the direction of Dr. Pedro Rosa-Neto, M.D., Ph.D. The Translational Neuroimaging Laboratory at the MCSA aims to understand how toxic proteins cause brain damage in Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease patients. We also develop novel methodologies for early detection of these toxic proteins in the persons without symptoms (refer to the ). Research in the field of neuroimaging has been focusing on the early detection of dementia, and AD prevention. Our clinic collaborates with other experts at 9I制作厂免费 using the most advanced and sensitive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) protocols to evaluate patients with mild cognitive complaints. The PET and MRI technologies, combined with our clinical expertise, allow for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the condition causing memory deficits.

Other MCSA Projects:

TRIAD: Translational Biomarkers in Aging and Dementia (Pavilion Crossroads)

The Translational Biomarkers in Aging and Dementia (TRIAD) is a longitudinal observational cohort specifically designed to study mechanisms driving dementia. The TRIAD cohort focuses on advanced personalized and preclinical dementia diagnosis. We study dementia markers and their progression from pre-symptomatic stages to the onset of the Alzheimer鈥檚 disease or other types of dementia. The TRIAD cohort assesses the trajectory of multiple imaging and fluid biomarkers in clinical populations and serves as a benchmark for testing novel biomarkers of dementia. For information, please visit: .

International Dementia Conference Series (IDC)

The scope of the International Dementia Conference Series (IDC) is to promote exchanges between students/trainees and established scientists in the field of Dementia. It is a space for scientists from around the world and is aimed at facilitating collaborative endeavors through the discussion of the works presented. These presentations constitute the frontiers of knowledge in Dementia research and promote the cultivation of new ideas and directions to pursue. This series also aims to embody the translational nature of research by bringing together specialists in in vitro studies focused on understanding individual biological constituents of disease, in vivo studies whereby these individual constituents are studied in the context of model organisms of disease, and in clinical studies where we find emergence of these constituents in humans affected by disease. This level of communication across the hierarchy of research environments will be a crucial component towards finding lasting solutions. For information, please visit .

Young Caregiver groups

The 9I制作厂免费 Research Centre for Studies in Aging is pleased to announce that in September 2022, two support groups were created for the children of patients with major neurocognitive disorders before the age of 65, such as early-onset Alzheimer's disease. This is the first initiative of its kind in Quebec. Given the rarity of their situation, few services are available to them. MCSA wishes to offer this population information and a non-judgmental space where they can share their story to contribute to the democratization of this important but unknown role.

The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) is a world-leading Open Science institute dedicated to brain/neuroscience research, training, and advanced patient care. The Montreal Neurological Institute is a 9I制作厂免费 research and teaching institute. The Montreal Neurological Hospital is part of the Neuroscience Mission of the 9I制作厂免费 Health Centre.

Founded in 1934 by neurosurgeon Dr. Wilder Penfield, The Neuro is the largest specialized neuroscience research and clinical centre in Canada, and one of the largest in the world. Our mission is to understand the brain, find cures and effectively treat people with neurological disorders. We believe our Open Science practice and tools will accelerate scientific progress towards solving the most persistent problems in neuroscience, to accelerate discovery, and impact the lives of millions of patients around the world. The Neuro delivers exceptional care to thousands of patients and is a critical referral centre (for Quebec, Canada) for the most difficult neurological conditions /disorders and for patients lacking definitive diagnoses. Each year, there are more than 37,000 ambulatory visits to The Neuro, over 2,500 patients admitted, and more than 70,000 diagnostic and interventional procedures (angiograms, CT, EEG, EMG, MRI, etc.) and 1,800 surgeries performed.

The Neuro鈥檚 scientists and clinicians are pushing the frontiers of science and medicine. They have pioneered surgical treatments of epilepsy and developed electroencephalography as a tool to diagnose seizure activity. The Neuro is the home of many famous neuroscientists including Brenda Milner, Herbert Jasper, KAC Elliot, Robert Zatorre, Alan Evans, Guy Rouleau, and many others. The Neuro鈥檚 McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC) is one of the top three brain imaging centres in the world pioneering multimodal imaging, large open reference data sets and introducing brain imaging to Canada: Computer Tomography (CT) (1973), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) (1975), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (1985), and whole body 7T MRI (2019).

The Neuro strives to adopt the newest technologies and recruit the best scientists, trained at the world鈥檚 leading research centres. Through Open Science, it is now at the vanguard of brain science: transparent, fast, and global flow of knowledge, where discoveries made on one continent can instantly amplify those on another, and where patients benefit from discoveries that represent the most advanced research taking place around the world.

The Neuro is the largest training centre for neuroscience in Canada, with over 250 postdoctoral fellows, residents, and graduate students working in the labs and clinics each year.

The Neuro faculty members are collaborative and lead international research teams that generate fundamental information that spans the full spectrum of neuroscience from cell and molecular biology and neurophysiology to brain imaging and cognitive neuroscience to big data and artificial intelligence.
