the School of Rehabilitation Sciences

The School was created in 1996 and brings together three professional programs: Audiology/Speech Language Pathology, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy. The mission of the School is to train bilingual healthcare professionals to meet the needs of Ontario's francophone population and of francophone communities in the rest of Canada, within the country's bilingual and multicultural context. In addition to providing outstanding professionnal education, we also strive to position ourselves as leaders of rehabilitation research.

  • Research conducted at BRI Clinical Neuroscience Lab gets published in a prestigious journal of neuroscience

    The results of a recent study conducted at the Élisabeth Bruyère Research Institute have been published in a top neuroscience journal (Neurobiology of Aging). Authors include psychology doctoral student Marielle Young-Bernier, Patrick Davidson and leading investigator for the study. Prof. François Tremblay, of the School of Rehabilitation at the Faculty of Health Sciences. The paper describes — for the first time in a large cohort of participants — a selective decrease with age in a neurophysiological marker of cholinergic function. The marker, short latency afferent inhibition (SAI), is derived from transcranial magnetic stimulation, a non-invasive brain stimulation technique.

    The study also shows that age-related variations in SAI level, reflecting cholinergic function, are strongly correlated with corresponding changes in the speed of sensori-motor processing, as measured in reaction time tests. The study was performed at the Clinical Neuroscience lab.
