Celebrating great news in the lab! 🎉
Adam Sutoski has been awarded a @FRQS1 Master’s Research Scholarship for 2026–2027 ($20,000, up to 6 semesters). A fantastic and well-deserved achievement!

Big congratulations to @LyndenRodrigues for receiving the @CIHR_IRSC Canada Postdoctoral Research Award ($70K/year for 2 years)! Very well deserved!👏This funding will support a randomized controlled trial using 12 weeks of exercise to prevent cognitive impairment post-stroke.

We’re proud of @LotlikarMadhura for presenting at Somnosciences Québec, organized by Réseau Sommeil. 💤
She shared her work on coping with sleep loss through exercise and strategic napping, and identifying barriers to implementing sleep research in rehabilitation settings.

Clinicians wanted for a research study on sleep in rehabilitation!

Participate in a 45–60 min interview and brief questionnaire about your clinical practice. Help us understand barriers and facilitators to implementing sleep research in rehab.

See flyer for details.

This past weekend, @LotlikarMadhura presented her poster on coping with sleep loss at the Amazing Brain Science Talks 2025 conference in Montréal. Her work highlights how social and societal factors can influence our sleep. Excellent job, Madhura!

After a stroke, the relationship between brain excitability and motor skill performance changes with lesion location. Check our recent paper in Brain Communications. https://t.co/ZeP62uBnZ0

[CanStroke Recovery Trials @canstroke]

Wrapping up an inspiring two days in Montreal! 🇨🇦

The CanStroke Recovery Trials community came together for a vibrant Scientific Meeting.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in person and helped make this gathering a success. 💡🧠

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. https://t.co/9Opdv4lUsP

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!

[memorylab @memorylab1]

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

[memorylab @memorylab1]

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.

[memorylab @memorylab1]

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.
