The laboratory directed by Bruno Giros, PhD, studies the molecular networks of dopamine and glutamate receptors and transporters, two neurotransmitters that play a key role in schizophrenia.

The laboratory of Patricia Boksa, PhD, has shown that birth complications can change the way in which the brain’s dopamine systems respond to stress in adulthood.

Directed by Cécilia Flores, PhD, the laboratory investigates brain abnormalities at the cellular and molecular level contributing to behaviours associated with schizophrenia and addiction.

Bruno Giros characterizes the neurobiology of schizophrenia and develops improved genetic animal models of this illness.

Cecilia Flores' work focuses on the dysfunction of the dopaminergic system, a brain system important in reward, motor, and cognitive functions.

Lalit Srivastava, has conducted research on schizophrenia and dopamine, a brain chemical implicated in its development.

A doctoral student in neuroscience at the Douglas receives grant to study in France.

"Bilingual" neurons may reveal the secrets of brain disease

Une étude intéressante du professeur Samir Zeki, neuroscientifique et psycho-esthéticien  démontre que le visionnement d’oeuvres d’art que nous trouvons agréables et visuellement intéressantes favorise la création de dopamine dans le cerveau et génère des effets comparables à l’étât amoureux. Rien de moins!     (Le professeur Samir commente le sujet dans ce très court vidéo qui se [...]
