The 2010 Douglas Institute research teams who were awarded grants from NSERC to pursue work in their respective fields of expertise.

Researchers at the Douglas redefine the role of a region of the brain associated with organizing memory.

New work by Sylvain Williams and his team sheds light on dynamic mecanisms controlling memory.

All laboratory projects require and utilize a multidisciplinary approach, ranging from behavioral models to cellular events, involving the latest technology.
