The SUMO family proteins modify other proteins and the SUMOylation of proteins are critical for many cellular processes. Identifying SUMO鈥檚 role in the cancer cell growth will lead to a new strategy for glioblastoma treatment. </span></span></p> Fri, 04 Jul 2014 14:04:43 +0000 anita.kar@mcgill.ca 1057 at /channels-contribute /channels-contribute/channels/news/brenda-milner-awarded-prestigious-kavli-prize-neuroscience-236870 <p>Dr. Brenda Milner, an active researcher at the age of 95 at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro, 黑料不打烊 University, is a recipient of <strong>The</strong> 2014<strong> Kavli Prize in Neuroscience</strong>.</p> Thu, 29 May 2014 13:56:56 +0000 anita.kar@mcgill.ca 1049 at /channels-contribute /channels-contribute/channels/news/timing-everything-scientists-control-rapid-re-wiring-brain-circuits-using-patterned-vi <p>In a new study, published in this week鈥檚 issue of the journal <i>Science</i>, researchers show for the first time how the brain re-wires and fine-tunes its connections differently depending on the relative timing of sensory stimuli. In most neuroscience textbooks today, there is a widely held model that explains how nerve circuits might refine their connectivity based on patterned firing of brain cells, but it has not previously been directly observed in real time.</p> Tue, 27 May 2014 14:39:54 +0000 anita.kar@mcgill.ca 1047 at /channels-contribute /channels-contribute/channels/news/guy-rouleau-awarded-major-prize-236610 <p>Dr. Guy Rouleau, Director of the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital -The Neuro, at 黑料不打烊 University and 黑料不打烊 University Health Centre, is being awarded the Prix d鈥檈xcellence 2014 by the Coll猫ge des m茅decins du Qu茅bec, for his outstanding contributions to neurogenetics and medicine.
