Clinicians wanted for a research study on sleep in rehabilitation! Participate in a 45–60 min interview and brief questionnaire about your clinical practice. Help us understand barriers and facilitators to implementing sleep research in rehab. See flyer for details.

This past weekend, @LotlikarMadhura presented her poster on coping with sleep loss at the Amazing Brain Science Talks 2025 conference in Montréal. Her work highlights how social and societal factors can influence our sleep. Excellent job, Madhura!

After a stroke, the relationship between brain excitability and motor skill performance changes with lesion location. Check our recent paper in Brain Communications. academic.oup.com/braincomms/adv…

A new Dr. from the @memorylab1. Terrific work, and terrific defence by @jacopocristini. Go celebrate!!!

Kudos to @LyndenRodrigues for being awarded a Post-doctoral Fellowship from @crirmtl: crir.ca/resultats-bour…

Can exercise rebalance brain excitability after stroke? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15…

Nicole and Phillipp from @ISSW_HD are spending some weeks with us at the @memorylab1. Last week they presented their PhD and post-doc studies on sleep, exercise and Parkinson's disease. We thrilled to have you here!

Wrapping up an inspiring two days in Montreal! 🇨🇦 The CanStroke Recovery Trials community came together for a vibrant Scientific Meeting. Thank you to everyone who joined us in person and helped make this gathering a success. 💡🧠 #StrokeRecovery #CanStroke

Eight weeks of intense cardiovascular training do not increase brain derived neurotrophic factor levels in patients with subacute stroke despite significant increases in cardiorespiratory fitness. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Kudos to @kevinmoncion from the @memorylab1 for obtaining a @CIHR_IRSC postdoctoral fellowship to study early multimodal exercise training to promote cognition and cerebrovascular recovery post-stroke. Well done Kevin!

Participant feedback is so important to us! ✨ See what Anna had to say about our research team and her experience in our study!

This past weekend, @LotlikarMadhura presented her research "Nap, Exercise, or Do Nothing: Finding the Best Strategy to Protect Memory After Sleep Loss" at the Canadian Sleep Society National Conference! We’re proud to see Madhura contribute to this vital conversation on sleep.

Congrats to @ankevr97 for obtaining a highly competitive 2 year postdoctoral fellowship by @ParkinsonCanada. Starting June 1st, Anke will be in the @memorylab1 continuing the @CIHR_IRSC funded RCT led by @jacopocristini that investigates the effects of exercise on sleep in PD.

Postdoc Lynden Rodrigues attended the 2025 CANTRAIN Clinical Trials Training Summit in Vancouver as an awardee of @StrokeCog fellowship. Lynden presented his poster for our upcoming @CIHR-funded trial, which was awarded 3rd best presentation!

Celebrating our StrokeCog Fellow poster competition winners at the @wecantrain Clinical Trials Training Summit - Rochelle Furtado (1st) and Lynden Rodrigues (3rd)! 🎊

Is HIIT more enjoyable and motivating than MICT for individuals Post-Stroke? Check our hot off the press new paper by @LyndenRodrigues at: archives-pmr.org/article/S0003-…

Talk by George F. Wittenberg, MD, PhD : Klotho – a genetic determinant of lifespan – predicts response to rehabilitation after stroke. When: 20 February 2025 12:00 (EST). Feel free to connect by Zoom to attend. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

We just got a @CIHR_IRSC Project Grant to conduct a RCT to study if exercise can prevent cognitive decline and reduce dementia risk early post-stroke. The two postdocs of the @memorylab1 @kevinmoncion and @LyndenRodrigues will lead this ambitious project.

Ashanté Bon has been an essential part of our lab since July 2024, bringing enthusiasm and dedication as our clinical research coordinator. We’re grateful for her contributions to our ongoing work in brain health and recovery. Here is what Ashanté has to say about her experience:
