Congratulations to @LotlikarMadhura for presenting her latest work published in PNAS at the European Sleep Research Society conference. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

Congratulations to @AnkeVanRoy, who presented at Sleep Europe 2026 in Maastricht, Netherlands ! Her work explores sex differences in 24-hour rest-activity rhythms in people with Parkinson’s disease, using actigraphy data. Proud of our team’s contribution to sleep research!

Workout or nap? Either can help your sleepless brain. See our study published in @PNAS. mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/…

Our new research published in PNAS shows that two simple, everyday strategies—a short bout of exercise or a 90‑minute nap—can significantly protect your memory after 30 hours of sleep deprivation. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

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. academic.oup.com/braincomms/…

A new Dr. from the @memorylab1. Terrific work, and terrific defence by @jacopocristini. Go celebrate!!!

Kudos to @LyndenRodrigues for being awarded a Post-doctoral Fellowship from @crirmtl: crir.ca/resultats-bourses-de…

Can exercise rebalance brain excitability after stroke? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Nicole and Phillipp from @ISSW_HD are spending some weeks with us at the @memorylab1. Last week they presented their PhD and post-doc studies on sleep, exercise and Parkinson's disease. We thrilled to have you here!

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. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

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!
