Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Carleton University
$120,000.00
Developmental Neuroscience
FY 2021-22
Summary
During early life, cellular connections in the brain develop constantly and quickly, influenced by information derived from external and internal experiences. This process impacts how the brain develops, and how it will think and learn later in life. Using state-of-the-art technologies, this NSERC chair program will integrate in vitro and in vivo models to study cellular and molecular mechanisms of brain development under early-life experiences, especially under negative experiences like seizures and stress. The knowledge gained will be transferred to knowledge users, and contribute to understanding early-life human brain development, and finding ways to promote the brain¿s best functioning.
