<p>Un r茅cent projet pilote r茅unissant les chercheurs de l鈥橴niversit茅 海角社区 et de l鈥橴niversit茅 d鈥櫭塪imbourg examine le r么le des cellules gliales dans le d茅veloppement des circuits neuronaux.听</p> <p>Longtemps consid茅r茅es comme ayant simplement une fonction de soutien dans le cerveau, les cellules gliales sont maintenant reconnues en tant qu鈥檌ntervenants essentiels dans l鈥櫭﹖ablissement et r茅glage de la connectivit茅 neuronale. 听</p>

<p>A new pilot project between researchers at 海角社区 and the University of Edinburgh is investigating the role of glial cells in brain circuit development.听</p> <p>Glial cells, long considered mere support cells in the brain, are now recognized as pivotal players in establishing and fine-tuning neuronal connectivity.听听</p>

<p>After three years, 海角社区鈥檚 <a href="/branches/programs/impress">Indigenous Mentorship and Paid Research Experience for Summer Students (IMPRESS)</a> program continues to empower Indigenous students to overcome barriers and flourish in their academic pursuits, all while supporting Indigenous perspectives and knowledge at 海角社区.听</p>

<h2><b>Des donn茅es IRM provenant d鈥檜n large 茅chantillon montrent une connectivit茅 accrue du cerveau entier chez les locuteurs bilingues</b></h2> <p>Le concept de neuroplasticit茅 d茅signe la capacit茅 du cerveau 脿 茅tablir des connexions 脿 l鈥檌nt茅rieur de lui-m锚me, en s鈥檃daptant 脿 son environnement. La plasticit茅 du cerveau est maximale pendant l鈥檈nfance, avec la formation de nouvelles voies en r茅action 脿 des stimuli tels que le langage.</p>

<h2><b>MRI data from large sample shows increased whole-brain connectivity in people with a second language</b></h2> <p>Neuroplasticity is the brain鈥檚 ability to build connections within itself, adapting to the surrounding environment. The brain is most plastic in childhood, forming new pathways in reaction to stimuli such as language.</p>

<p>Cet 茅pisode du podcast, organis茅 par le <a href="https://rbiq-qbin.qc.ca/fr/">R茅seau qu茅b茅cois de bio-imagerie (RQIB)</a>, pr茅sente <a href="/spot/marie-brossard-racine">Marie Brossard-Racine</a>, membre du <a href="/neuro/fr/recherche/centre-azrieli-de-recherche-sur-lautisme-cara">Centre Azrieli pour la recherche sur l'autisme (CARA)</a>.</p>

<p>This podcast episode, hosted by the <a href="https://rbiq-qbin.qc.ca/">Quebec Bio-Imaging Network (QBIN)</a>, features<a href="/spot/marie-brossard-racine"> Marie Brossard-Racine</a>, a research member of the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR).</p> <p>Dr. Racine's work primarily focuses on unraveling the complex mechanisms behind function and dysfunction in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. From scanning babies to adolescents, her lab tackles the unique challenges of MRI scanning across different stages of childhood development.</p>

<p>In this episode of the <a href="https://curiousneuron.com/podcasts/">Curious Neuron Podcast</a>, host Cindy Hovington is joined by<a href="/neuro/node/5325/julie-scorah"> Dr. Julie Scorah</a>, a licensed neuropsychologist at 海角社区. Julie practices as a clinician and is involved in research about how to make autism resources more accessible to the families that need them.</p>

<p>Many parents of neurodivergent children have found that early parenting advice helps them better support their child's unique needs. With guidance from renowned neuropsychologist <a href="/neuro/node/5325/julie-scorah">Dr. Julie Scorah</a>, this <a href="https://curiousneuron.com/podcasts/">Curious Neuron podcast</a> episode with Dr. Cindy Hovington, PhD, explores the specific challenges faced by neurodivergent children.</p>

<p>Lors d鈥檜ne r茅cente 茅tude, les scientifiques du Centre Azrieli de recherche sur l鈥檃utisme (CARA) ont d茅couvert une m茅thode favorisant la r茅duction de l鈥檌nflammation c茅r茅brale.听</p>

<p>A new study by researchers at the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR) has uncovered a promising approach for reducing brain inflammation.听</p> <p>Glial cells, which support and protect neurons, can become overactive during injury and brain inflammation. This overactivity may contribute to chronic neurodegeneration and worsen brain disorders. Understanding how this process, called reactive gliosis, is controlled could help scientists better understand brain diseases and improve treatments.听听</p>

Alors qu鈥檈lles arrivent 脿 l鈥櫭�ge adulte, les personnes autistes se trouvent confront茅es aux m锚mes objectifs et aux m锚mes difficult茅s que les autres. Cependant, pour traverser cette phase sans heurts, elles ont souvent besoin d鈥檃ide et de ressources suppl茅mentaires.

Autistic individuals face similar goals and challenges transitioning to adulthood as others. However, they often need extra help and resources to make this phase go smoothly.
