A team of researchers from the Æ»¹ûÒùÔº affiliated Douglas Mental Health University Institute (DMHUI) has discovered that genes regulating important biological processes are incapable of adapting to new sleeping and eating patterns and that most of them stay tuned to their daytime biological clock rhythms.</p> Mon, 07 May 2018 19:28:49 +0000 justin.dupuis@mcgill.ca 39487 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/new-molecular-target-identified-depression-287058 <p>The discovery of a new mechanism involved in depression – and a way to target it with a drug as effective as classical antidepressants -- provides new understanding of this illness and could pave the way for treatments with fewer side effects.</p> Mon, 07 May 2018 14:23:36 +0000 justin.dupuis@mcgill.ca 39464 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/could-olfactory-loss-point-alzheimers-disease-269504 <p>By the time you start losing your memory, it's almost too late. That's because the damage to your brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may already have been going on for as long as twenty years. Which is why there is so much scientific interest in finding ways to detect the presence of the disease early on. Scientists now believe that simple odour identification tests may help track the progression of the disease before symptoms actually appear, particularly among those at risk.</p> Tue, 15 Aug 2017 16:26:14 +0000 priya.pajel@mail.mcgill.ca 32169 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/playing-your-brain-269271 <p>Human-computer interactions, such as playing video games, can have a negative impact on the brain, says a new Canadian study published in <em>Molecular Psychiatry</em>. For over 10 years, scientists have told us that action video game players exhibit better visual attention, motor control abilities and short-term memory. But, could these benefits come at a cost?</p> Mon, 07 Aug 2017 15:31:22 +0000 priya.pajel@mail.mcgill.ca 32143 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/it%E2%80%99s-all-good-night%E2%80%99s-sleep-240986 <p><span>Making sure school-aged kids get to sleep at a regular hour is often a struggle for parents. But a study by researchers at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº and the Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Montreal suggests it’s well worth the effort: the researchers found that a good night’s sleep is linked to better performance in math and languages – subjects that are powerful predictors of later learning and academic success.</span></p> Thu, 08 Jan 2015 15:33:47 +0000 christopher.chipello@mcgill.ca 21826 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/family-dinners-reduce-effects-cyberbullying-238575 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 20:00:54 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 21073 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/mcgill-expert-mental-health-and-canadian-forces-237953 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 15:48:17 +0000 raphael.larocque-cyr@mcgill.ca 21027 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/new-hope-treatment-alzheimer-disease-237457 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 13:51:02 +0000 raphael.larocque-cyr@mcgill.ca 20968 at /newsroom
