Jordan Mak is a Research Technologist in @awheel_lab's lab @SickKidsNews, presenting on the 'Contribution of White Matter Plasticity to Forgetting.' "Just as the brain needs to remember, it also needs to be able to forget optimally." -JM #neuronto

Recap from earlier this month: PhD students Xi, @eman_nishat, and @ps_velayudhan presenting their projects at CTRC and @CCN_RCC in Ottawa!

Dr. @awheel_lab's breakthrough on how #concussions affect white matter in female children is paving the way for targeted interventions to enhance post-concussion quality of life during crucial brain development stages https://t.co/lwOS94AY1E CC: @azrielifdn @SickKidsNews

Forever grateful that Brain Canada funded @BRANCH_lab to investigate the impact of concussions on brain development.

(5/5) Thank you to the #ABCDStudy participants and research team for collecting and sharing this rich data, and our fabulous collaborators @ShannonScratch and Stephanie Ameis!

(4/5) In females, less change in superficial white matter maturation was associated with worse emotional problems after concussion

(3/5) Change in superficial white matter maturation showed age-related differences in children with concussion, with less change in superficial white matter maturation in younger children with concussion

(2/5) Female children with concussion showed new emotional problems after concussion

(1/5) New @BRANCH_lab publication in Biological Psychiatry examines pre- & post-concussion data in 11-12-year-olds from the #ABCDStudy! Results show altered white matter maturation is associated with worse emotional problems in female children. Details ⬇️ https://t.co/tKe6FynzTP

We are looking for youth and young adults (ages 10-25) who recently returned to sport after a concussion to help us test a new return to sport assessment system for youth with concussion. Learn more at: https://t.co/oAf0FNEG3c

Are you a clinician with experience in concussion or acquired brain injury? Please consider participating in our research study to help us test a new return-to-play assessment system for youth with concussion. Learn more at: https://t.co/oAf0FNEG3c
