Transforming the way brain diseases and disorders are understood, diagnosed and treated.
About us
In September 2016, BrainsCAN received the largest research grant in Western University’s history – a 7-year, $66 million investment from the Government of Canada through the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF). Through this grant, BrainsCAN is enabling Western researchers, along with national and international academic and commercial partners, to develop and deliver evidence-based assessments and interventions for the diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders. BrainsCAN research is currently underway for neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Autism Spectrum Disorder, concussions, stroke and more.

A new study suggests lifestyle changes could reduce the risk of developing dementia.
People can greatly improve their odds against developing dementia by making low-cost lifestyle changes, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry researchers have discovered. In the first study of its kind, researchers found 12 lifestyle factors can influence about half of dementia cases in Canada. Topping the “dirty dozen” list are physical inactivity, hearing loss, obesity and hypertension. #WesternU

Don't miss this exciting opportunity to hear from a great BrainsCAN-aligned researcher!
🔔 Webinar reminder! Join us this Thursday at 12 pm EST for a session with Dr. Lyle Muller, Assistant Professor at Western University, hosted by OBI’s Centre for Analytics (CfA). Dr. Muller’s innovative work with CfA focuses on developing large-scale neural networks that reveal how neurons communicate, offering key insights into seizure generation and the potential for non-invasive techniques to control them. Discover how computational neuroscience is unlocking new possibilities for seizure prediction and intervention, paving the way for precision neural modulation to improve brain health.
