These models allow them to gain insights into the underlying causes of neurological disease. These insights, in turn, inform both clinical studies and drug development. Sometimes animal models are used, but early research often begins by looking at cells grown outside a living organism in a test tube or dish. This method is known as research<i> in vitro</i>—Latin for “in glass.”</p> Wed, 18 Jan 2023 14:40:06 +0000 Dara O'Connor 672 at /neurosphere New drug offers hope for the treatment of anorexia /neurosphere/article/researcher-spotlight/new-drug-offers-hope-treatment-anorexia <p>Eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia affect up to 10% of the population and are very difficult to treat. Anorexia carries the highest mortality rate of all mental-health disorders, but unlike depression and other mental illnesses, there are currently no medications to treat eating disorders.</p> <p>New research from ƻԺ professor Salah El Mestikawy at The Douglas Research Centre may change all that.</p> Tue, 29 Nov 2022 18:34:19 +0000 Dara O'Connor 667 at /neurosphere Careers in Precision Health: Facts and Snacks /neurosphere/channels/event/careers-precision-health-facts-and-snacks-343183 <p><img alt="event header" src="/neurosphere/files/neurosphere/neurosphere_event_header_banner_8.12.2022_white.png" style="width:725px; height:371px" /></p> Tue, 01 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0000 dara.o_connor@mcgill.ca 660 at /neurosphere Careers in Precision Health: Facts and Snacks /neurosphere/channels/event/careers-precision-health-facts-and-snacks-343081 <p><img alt="event header" src="/neurosphere/files/neurosphere/neurosphere_event_header_banner_24.11.2022_light.png" style="width:725px; height:371px" /></p> Tue, 01 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0000 dara.o_connor@mcgill.ca 659 at /neurosphere
