Join us for the next CNS Director Research Seminar featuring Dr. Jason MacLean, whose research explores how neural circuits support perception, movement, learning, and flexible behaviour using large-scale neural recordings, computational models, and quantitative analysis.

Dr. James Reynolds has been invited to present before the Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology (SOCI) on June 11, 2026 in support of Bill S-234, a proposed national framework for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Congratulations, Dr. Reynolds!

What if assessing someone’s balance was as simple as recording a video? Researchers at Queen’s University showed that markerless motion capture can accurately measure balance and postural control using video cameras alone. Read more: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Congratulations to Michele Morningstar on a well-deserved promotion to Associate Professor in Psychology @queensu! This achievement is a true reflection of her dedication to research, mentorship, and teaching. 🎉

What if treating depression also meant treating brain metabolism? This study from the Brietzke Lab found a medically supervised ketogenic diet was feasible, safe, and associated with significant improvements in moderate-to-severe depression symptoms. Read more: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41475571/
