PROJECTS
We run several research projects in each of the five research areas of our laboratory: Aging, Exercise, Neuroplasticity, Neurorehabilitation and Sleep. Some of these projects involve people without disability while other projects require the participation of people with neurological conditions such as Stroke, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
We are also running several neurorehabilitation training programs which can be joined by patients with Stroke or Parkinson’s disease to improve their physical and cognitive well-being. Training sessions are free and personalized and our clinicians and researchers are always on site to monitor patient’s progression and to ensure their safety.
This project investigates associations between markers of cognitive decline and different aspects of functional performance...
This project explores mechanistic interactions between exercise, neuroplasticity and sleep architecture in people with Parkinson's...
This project explores the potential role of exercise as a countermeasure to protect neuroplasticity and memory from the effects of sleep deprivation...
This project explores the role of exercise intensity on brain plasticity, cardiovascular health and motor function in people with chronic stroke...
This project studies whether the genotype modulates the individual response to exercise on brain plasticity and motor recovery in early stroke recovery...
This project investigates whether, timely combined, the administration of dopaminergic drug and exercise can improve motor function in Parkinson’s Disease...
This project uses non-invasive brain stimulation to investigative whether aging increases the susceptibility to memory interference...
This project investigates the effects of exercise on neuroplasticity and moderating factors influencing its effects on memory consolidation...
This project uses non-invasive brain stimulation to determine if exercise protects memories during consolidation...
This project investigates interactions between exercise-induced changes in brain plasticity, memory and sleep architecture...
This project investigates whether aging modifies the interactions between brain plasticity and sleep during memory consolidation...
We are seeking individuals of all ages to participate in our studies. Most studies require only some hours of your time. Besides helping science move forward, your participation in our studies may help patients to recover better. We provide small honoraria to cover for parking and transportation costs.
