(1)

Brain Canada is a national non-profit organization that develops and supports collaborative, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research across the neurosciences. Through partnering with the public, private and voluntary sectors, Brain Canada connects the knowledge and resources available in this area to accelerate neuroscience research and funding and maximize the output of Canada’s world-class scientists and researchers. Brain Canada was created to address the twin challenges of increasing the scale of brain research funding in Canada and widening its scope to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration to produce insights for treating multiple disorders. Brain Canada is the new vision for Canadian brain research—the voice for the brain and the grouping of brain disorders, raising awareness about their prevalence and impact on individuals, families, the economy and society. But most important, through the research we are funding, we are giving hope to the millions of Canadians who are directly or indirectly touched by diseases, disorders, and injuries of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.

Trouver le traitement qui convient pour soigner la dépression peut prendre du temps, et plus le temps passe, plus il devient difficile d’imaginer aller mieux.

Le Dr Anthony J. Gifuni souhaite réduire cette attente chez les jeunes. Lauréat du programme Futurs leaders canadiens de la recherche sur le cerveau de la Fondation Brain Canada, le Dr Gifuni vise à aider les adolescents à trouver le bon traitement dès leur tout premier épisode dépressif, leur donnant ainsi une véritable raison de garder espoir tout au long de leur parcours de soins.

En cette Semaine de l’égalité des s*xes, nous sommes fiers de partager ce qui devient possible lorsque le s*xe et le genre sont intégrés à la recherche dès le départ.

La Fondation Brain Canada, avec ses donateurs et ses partenaires, a investi 160,3 M$ dans la recherche et la mobilisation des connaissances qui portent sur les facteurs liés au s*xe et au genre dans la santé du cerveau, ou qui en tiennent compte. Cet investissement s’étend à 39 programmes de financement, 312 projets de recherche et 20 essais cliniques comptant plus de 4 500 participantes et participants.

Grâce à ce soutien, des chercheurs ont:
🧠 découvert que les différences liées au s*xe peuvent influencer le rétablissement après une commotion cérébrale;
🧠 constaté que les femmes pourraient tirer davantage profit de l’activité physique;
🧠 contribué à éclairer un traitement plus ciblé des troubles de l’alimentation.

Chaque découverte nous rapproche de soins qui fonctionnent pour tout le monde. Lorsque la recherche tient compte du s*xe et du genre, les patients, les familles et le système de santé en bénéficient. Pour en savoir plus sur la santé du cerveau des femmes, visitez braincanada.ca/fr.

This , we're proud to share what's possible when s*x and gender are built into research from the start.

Brain Canada, along with its donors and partners, has invested $160.3 million in research and knowledge mobilization that focuses on or considers the impact of s*x and gender on brain health. This investment spans 39 funding programs, 312 research projects, and 20 clinical trials involving more than 4,500 participants.

Thanks to this support, researchers have:
🧠 Discovered that s*x differences can shape concussion recovery
🧠 Found that women may benefit more from being physically active
🧠 Helped inform a more targeted treatment for eating disorders

Each finding moves us closer to care that works for everyone. When research accounts for s*x and gender, the benefits reach patients, families, and the health system. To learn more about women's brain health, visit braincanada.ca

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, currently affecting more than 57 million people worldwide.

In 2024, the Lancet Commission, a group of international dementia experts, identified 14 modifiable risk factors for dementia. They found that addressing these factors could cut your lifetime risk of Alzheimer's or a related dementia by nearly half.

Fourteen risk factors are a lot to keep in your head. So the Weaver Lab at the Krembil Research Institute, UHN, built a simple acronym to help you remember them: ADVICES.

Much about Alzheimer's disease can feel out of our hands. But real hope, and real control, come from what we do each day. Following ADVICES means making lifestyle changes now that meaningfully lower your risk of AD, while building a healthier, fuller life along the way.
