Plasticity and Cognition

In collaboration with Dr. Sara Tremblay at the IMHR, we are investigating the level of brain plasticity in the prefrontal cortex using transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) measures in healthy controls, as well as in people with schizophrenia and depression. We are interested in the relationship between brain plasticity and cognitive performance, along with its impact in cognitive deficits observed in schizophrenia and depression.

We will invite people who will participate in the brain correlates of cognitive deficits study to attend an extra and optional session, where we will investigate the level of brain plasticity in their prefrontal cortex using state-of-the-art TMS-EEG measures.
