Leadership
DR SIGNE BRAY
Dr. Signe Bray uses functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study learning and cognition in development. She is interested in how brain networks develop, both in terms of structure and function, and how changes in the brain relate to the maturation of cognitive and learning abilities. She also uses MRI to characterize functional and structural differences in the brain in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
DR PATRICIA CONROD
Dr. Patricia Conrod is a Clinical Psychologist and Professor of Psychiatry at Universite de Montreal. Her research team is based at the CHU Sainte-Justine Mother and Child Hospital Centre in Montreal. Her research focuses on cognitive, personality and biological risk factors for the development and maintenance of drug abuse and the factors that mediate the co-occurrence of addictive behaviours with other mental disorders. Her research findings have led to the development of new approaches to substance abuse treatment and prevention that target personality risk factors and the underlying motivational determinants of drug use in subtypes of substance misusers.
DR CATHERINE LEBEL
Dr. Catherine Lebel's research uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study brain development in children and adolescents. Using a variety of MRI techniques, Lebel studies how brain structure and function change with age, or in response to treatments and interventions. Dr. Lebel is specifically interested in how brain maturation and brain plasticity are related to cognition and behaviour, and how these relationships may be different in children with developmental disorders. The aim of her research is to better understand brain changes, with the ultimate goal of providing earlier identification and more effective treatments for children with developmental disorders.
DR ANNE WHEELER
Dr. Anne Wheeler is a Senior Scientist at the Hospital for Sick Children in the Neuroscience and Mental Health Program and an Associate Professor in the Physiology Department at the University of Toronto. Dr. Wheeler’s translational research program applies advanced neuroimaging methods to characterize brain connectivity and how changes in connectivity driven by injury, psychopathology, development, and genetics affect behaviour and cognition.
