Hippocampal neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in major depressive disorder: a high field MRI study
DownloadFall 2012
The hippocampus is a brain structure responsible for memory, learning, and the stress response; it is also used as a model for major depressive disorder (MDD) in preclinical studies. Preclinical models have shown that the hippocampal subfields are differentially affected by chronic stress....

Intentions of Canadian healthcare professionals to prescribe exercise to people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
DownloadFall 2015
Lack of effective treatment options exist for individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A relatively inexpensive treatment option for people with ALS (PALS) is exercise. However, it is unclear whether healthcare professionals (HCP’s), working in ALS clinics across Canada, currently...

Investigation of gradient echo MRI for blood vessel imaging and susceptibility-weighted imaging in the human brain
DownloadSpring 2010
Despite the vast myriad of applications and the long way it has come, MRI is still a relatively new field of knowledge with much prospect for more advancement and expansion. This work is mainly concerned with two gradient echo imaging methods which are directly or indirectly related to blood...

Introduction: Acute blood pressure (BP) reduction is among the few treatments options available in the acute management of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Recent observational studies have demonstrated the presence of lesions suggestive of ischemia on diffusion-weighted sequences (DWI) on MRI. We...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain in Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and Advances in Measuring Cortical Microstructure
DownloadFall 2020
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) encompasses a large spectrum of physical, cognitive and behavioral deficits resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure. Studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have shown structural and functional brain alterations in children and adolescents with...
