Students share summer neuroscience research projects at Montreal labs
November 9th, 2023
Thirteen Dawson students spent their summer working on real research projects in various fields of neuroscience.
There were eight projects in partnership with Polytechnique/Ste-Justine, MNI, Douglas Institute, McGill departments of Physiology and of Pharmacology and Therapeutics. According to Neuroscience Research Group coordinator H茅l猫ne Nadeau: 鈥渟ome projects used images from dMRI, EEG, MRI, fMRI, MR spectroscopy, or PET modalities to probe questions related to the health of neonates, to audition in the normal population, or to pathologies such as schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, or Alzheimer鈥檚 disease.
鈥淥ther聽projects relied on experiments on mice or rats, to better understand physiological mechanisms related to pathologies. In the course of the academic year, several teams worked on a large array of projects combining behavioural and EEG data.鈥�
Three of the students shared their projects in interviews with the Communications Office. Visit the Read More link to see their projects and interviews.

Sunday was a record crowd, according to organizer Carey-Ann Pawsey of the Communications Office and Geoff Kloos of Student Services, two staff members who have more than two decades of Dawson Open House experience.

In the morning, guests arrived for tours and program experiences by appointment and in the afternoon, doors were open to all to come in and speak with teachers at program booths and ask questions to academic advisors. There were close to 2,000 people who went on student-guided tours, 700 at the Science info sessions and 300 at program experiences.聽 The Science webinar on Oct. 18 and the How to Apply webinar on Oct. 24 drew a total of 600 participants online.
鈥淚 would like to sincerely thank everyone who gave up their Sunday to welcome our future students and their parents to Dawson,鈥� said Megan Ainscow, Head of Communications. 鈥淲e have an amazing team of colleagues at Dawson who go above and beyond to make this event possible. We feel very grateful.鈥�
