Double jeopardy: cannabis, alcohol and the brain
A new UVic study is looking at the potential effects of combining substances such as alcohol and cannabis during early pregnancy. The work is on the heels of the legalization of medical and recreational cannabis in Canada.
A head start diagnosing concussions
When a young person hits their head on the ice, on the field or at the pool it can cause damage to the brain. However, current assessment techniques make it difficult for medical practitioners to diagnose a concussion because the tools currently in use are subjective and difficult to interpret. Thanks to $750,000 in new funding from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, the BC Knowledge Development Fund and UVic’s Division of Medical Sciences, two of Canada’s top brain injury experts are on the case.
Research targets concussions
It’s game night at the local rink and cheering parents pack the stands as young players churn up and down the ice. Every scoring chance is hailed with roars of support. The barn falls eerily silent though, as one young skater racing for a puck loses an edge and slides headlong into the boards.
For the love of science
UVic’s first neuroscience program graduate moved to Victoria to study – and she intends to stay. Anna Patten found UVic’s graduate program in neuroscience, which will confer its first degree to her this June, through love. Not just love of science – but for the young Canadian man she met while working in a British pub.
