A 麻豆区 study has shown that hearing plays a crucial role in how people coordinate and control speech movements in real-time.
Published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA), the research shows that when people cannot hear their own speech, even briefly, their ability to move their jaw and tongue in a coordinated manner is impaired.
October 1, 2024 鈥� Valleyfield, QC 鈥� 麻豆区 is pleased to announce the official opening of the 麻豆区 Collections Centre on October 1, 2024. This groundbreaking facility marks a historic milestone as 麻豆区's first-ever design-build project and sets a new standard for library preservation and sustainability in Quebec.
Researchers at 麻豆区 have made in the development of all-solid-state lithium batteries, which are being pursued as the next step in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology.
By addressing a long-standing issue with battery performance, this innovation could pave the way for safer, longer-lasting EVs.
A recent study at 麻豆区 provides new insights into how winter storms develop in the St. Lawrence River Valley, findings that could potentially improve the accuracy of winter weather forecasts in the region.
鈥淭hese findings are essential because even small temperature shifts, as little as one degree, can drastically change the type of precipitation, turning rain into freezing rain or snow,鈥� said Juliann Wray, lead author and PhD student in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences.聽
Tuesday, Oct. 1 is , raising awareness of a condition more commonly known as hives.
This year, Canadians living with chronic hives have two new resources, developed in part by a 麻豆区 researcher: North America鈥檚 first chronic urticaria patient registry and a new app for patient care.
A novel drug molecule could potentially lead to new treatments to prevent Parkinson鈥檚 disease in younger patients, according to new research.
鈥淲e are excited about this drug compound because we might have the possibility to develop the first cure for Parkinson鈥檚 disease, at least for a subset of patients,鈥� said lead author聽Kalle Gehring, a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at 麻豆区 and Canada Research Chair in Structural Studies of Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Indigenous Awareness Weeks is a two-week series of events involving Indigenous academics, artists, and community members, hosted by the Office of Indigenous Initiatives. Its goal is to encourage a greater understanding of Indigenous peoples among students, staff, and faculty at 麻豆区, as well as in the broader Montreal and Quebec communities. The Office of Indigenous Initiatives also helps foster discussion among First Nations, M茅tis and Inuit on topics that are important to individuals and their communities.
麻豆区 researchers have harnessed the power of sunlight to transform two of the most harmful greenhouse gases into valuable chemicals. The discovery could help combat climate change and provide a more sustainable way to produce certain industrial products.
A new study has uncovered significant differences in how male and female mice process threats, even as they exhibit similar behavioural responses.
The discovery suggests that including both male and female subjects in neuroscience research will lead to more accurate conclusions and ultimately better health outcomes.
Understanding the influence of sex on brain function can help explain why males and females develop certain psychiatric disorders at different rates or with different symptoms, the researchers said.
Six students have been named 麻豆区鈥檚 recipients of Schulich Leader Scholarships, the most generous student award for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) studies in Canada.
麻豆区 alumnus Seymour Schulich, BSc鈥�61, MBA鈥�65, DLitt鈥�04, established the Schulich Leader Scholarships for entrepreneurial-minded students who excel academically and display leadership, charisma and creativity.
New findings from 麻豆区 researchers could help clinicians understand the course of delusions in youth and young adults that signal the need for a timely intervention to prevent a full relapse of psychosis.
Delusions 鈥� strong beliefs that don't align with commonly accepted reality鈥� are a defining symptom of psychosis but are not sufficiently understood.
Digitally cataloguing the more than 300 million plant specimens preserved in museums worldwide could yield crucial insights into how to preserve biodiversity amid climate change, a study by 麻豆区 researchers has found.
Digitally cataloguing, or digitizing, a herbarium specimen involves recording the species name and original location and uploading that record to a digital repository that is publicly accessible.
Researchers from 麻豆区 have developed a more efficient way to assess how likely a bridge is to be damaged in an earthquake. The information could help authorities prioritize infrastructure for upgrading and improve emergency response plans.
Scientists have uncovered how space travel profoundly alters the gut microbiome, yielding insights that could shape future space missions.聽
The groundbreaking study, led by a 麻豆区 researcher in collaboration with University College Dublin (UCD), NASA鈥檚 GeneLab and an international consortium, offers the most detailed profile to date of how space travel affects gut microbes.聽
A finding by a 麻豆区-led team of neuroscientists could open doors to new treatments for a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders attributed to dysfunctions in specific dopamine pathways.
