The study offers the first neural evidence that traces of the “lost” language remain in the brain.</p> Mon, 17 Nov 2014 14:37:13 +0000 anita.kar@mcgill.ca 1127 at /channels-contribute World experts join forces on rare genetic disease /channels-contribute/channels/news/world-experts-join-forces-rare-genetic-disease-240031 <h6>Scientists shed light on ARSACS a genetic disease affecting Quebecers in regions of Charlevoix and Saguenay-Lac Saint-Jean</h6> Tue, 11 Nov 2014 20:19:43 +0000 anita.kar@mcgill.ca 1122 at /channels-contribute Why your brain makes you reach for junk food /channels-contribute/channels/news/why-your-brain-makes-you-reach-junk-food-239618 <p>New study examines link between brain cortex and food buying habits</p> <p>MONTREAL: Will that be a pizza for you or will you go for a salad? Choosing what you eat is not simply a matter of taste, conclude scientists in a new study at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of ϲ University and the ϲ University Health Centre.
