Eight weeks of intense cardiovascular training do not increase brain derived neurotrophic factor levels in patients with subacute stroke despite significant increases in cardiorespiratory fitness.

Kudos to @kevinmoncion from the @memorylab1 for obtaining a @CIHR_IRSC postdoctoral fellowship to study early multimodal exercise training to promote cognition and cerebrovascular recovery post-stroke. Well done Kevin!.

Participant feedback is so important to us! ✨ See what Anna had to say about our research team and her experience in our study!

This past weekend, @LotlikarMadhura presented her research "Nap, Exercise, or Do Nothing: Finding the Best Strategy to Protect Memory After Sleep Loss" at the Canadian Sleep Society National Conference! We’re proud to see Madhura contribute to this vital conversation on sleep.

Congrats to @ankevr97 for obtaining a highly competitive 2 year postdoctoral fellowship by @ParkinsonCanada. Starting June 1st, Anke will be in the @memorylab1 continuing the @CIHR_IRSC funded RCT led by @jacopocristini that investigates the effects of exercise on sleep in PD.

Postdoc Lynden Rodrigues attended the 2025 CANTRAIN Clinical Trials Training Summit in Vancouver as an awardee of @StrokeCog fellowship. Lynden presented his poster for our upcoming @CIHR-funded trial, which was awarded 3rd best presentation!.
