A revolution in biological sciences has swept through our province like a wildfire, transforming the scientific landscape and bringing forth a dynamic and vibrant community of neuroscience innovators.
For the past 20 years or so since I first established my laboratory at the Hospital for Sick Children, or “SickKids” as we now know it, I have been privileged to witness, and in some measure to be a part of, a host of discoveries that have shaped—and are continuing to shape—the way we view the brain and the rest of the nervous system. Here’s just a sampling of some of the major breakthroughs of Ontario neuroscientists:
Such a diversity of significant research accomplishments has positioned Ontario in a leadership position in many areas of the global neuroscience arena.
These advances are in large part due to the technologies that have revolutionized the way we do science, such as: the fMRI and ...
