Brain Sciences

It Matters Most When Its Your Peace of Mind

Neurological disorders or conditions will be the biggest public health issue in North America by 2020. Sunnybrook has one of Canada’s leading centres in the treatment of stroke, mood disorders, brain tumours and dementias such as Alzheimer’s. We continue to pioneer insights into how the brain and mind work together, and develop the latest imaging and analytical techniques to treat neuro-degenerative diseases, dementias, stroke and mood disorders.

Sunnybrook highlights the “ABC’s” of brain science: affect, behaviour and cognition, as they relate to disorders such as stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, mood disorders across the life span, brain tumours and neuropsychiatry. Our approach to research includes world-class neuro-imaging, neurochemistry, pharmacology and neuropsychology. Our Brain Sciences Program is pioneering new interventions and imaging analysis techniques to optimize brain recovery and rehabilitation.

The Brain Sciences Program at Sunnybrook transforms our understanding and management of disorders of the brain and mind. Unique in our integration of psychiatry, neurology, and geriatrics, we bring together different disciplines and multidisciplinary health professionals to transform how we think of and treat diseases of the brain.
