Fundraising tips to help you hit your target this weekend! Bike Tour is only a week away!!! #fundraisingtips #fundraisingtiers #tips #branchoutbiketour #brainsattheirbest #neuroresearch #neurologicaldisorders #bikingforbrains

Our biggest fundraiser of the year is a few days away -- BIKE TOUR! To donate to neurological research across Canada, go to branchoutfoundation.com/bike-tour-form/ See you in Panorama, BC this weekend! 🚴‍♂️ #branchoutbiketour #BrainsAtTheirBest #biketour #fundraiser #neuroresearch

We are thrilled to announce our funding of Georgia Elliot at U Calgary this summer to explore psychedelics as a groundbreaking mental health intervention for PTSD in Canadian Veterans. Stay tuned! #PTSD #psychedelics #undergradgrant #neuroscience #neuroresearch

A @branchoutnf funded study uses lower body negative pressure (LBNP) with supine cycling to help alleviate concussion symptoms. LBNP improves blood flow and exercise tolerance. Participants report fewer headaches and better exercise capacity. Led by Dr. Jonathan Smirl U Calgary.

We are thrilled to announce that we have selected 6 new graduate research projects to fund for the 2024-2025 year! All selected projects are neuroCAM focused and look at ways to improve Celebral Palsy, Stroke, Parkinson's Disease, ALS, and Depression. #newgrants #neurogrants

What we fund is innovative and super cool. NeuroCAM 101 🧠🔬 #neuroCAM #bridgingthegap #neuroscience #neurogrants #branchoutnf #researchgap

We are excited to announce our funding of Si Chen Pan at the University of Calgary this summer to explore the link between pain, pain relief, and brain structure in youth. Pan will be researching placebo treatments. Stay tuned! #chronicpain #kidspain #placebo #neuroresearch

In 2021, Branch Out funded a groundbreaking study on Wîwîp’son, an Indigenous healing practice, and how this practice aids trauma recovery. Dr. Auger is continuing this work, training 21 Indigenous women in Wîwîp’son and collaborating on a 22-minute documentary. #researchimpact

Do you have a cool idea for how your research could go beyond the lab? Our Impact Grants support the application of your neuroCAM research beyond the lab where it can make a real impact in the community. Our grants are up to $5,000.Applications are open! branchoutfoundation.com/grant.../impac…

We're excited to have supported Kshef Kamran this summer in her research at the University of Calgary. She explored the potential of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for neuropathic pain in spinal cord injury patients. Proud to back such impactful research!

Excited to support Nicholina Boutros at Sunnybrook Research Institute as she investigated whether cannabis can relieve Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). This first-of-its-kind study could offer new hope for safer, more effective RLS treatment options.

It's that time of year 📚🧠. . . . #backtoschool #brainquote #brain #neuroscience #branchoutnf #newdiscoveries

Proud to support Colby Sandberg's research at the University of Victoria, exploring how prenatal THC exposure affects microglia, key immune cells in the brain. This work aims to reveal THC's impact on brain development, providing insights as cannabis use during pregnancy rises.

Excited to support Martin Bardhi's research that explored if gut bacteria and SCFAs might help alleviate ALS symptoms. With ALS affecting men more severely, this research could open doors to new therapies for this devastating disease. #ALS #Research #GutHealth #UCalgary

🚨 Branch Out Impact Grant Applications Now Open! 🚨 Got an innovative neuroCAM idea with real-world impact? Branch Out Neurological Foundation’s Impact Grants help take research out of the lab and into the community! Link in bio. #neuroCAM #BranchOutN #CommunityImpact

A recent Branch Out study combined Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) with balance training to reduce the risk of falls and reducing fear of injury. This non-invasive device helps initiate a step when detecting a loss of balance. #SpinalCordInjury #FES #tech #branchoutnf

Lexi Stein's research University of Alberta on how THC affects brain rhythms during sleep. Her findings show THC disrupts sleep patterns, which could impact learning and memory. At Branch Out, we’re excited to fund projects that push neuroCAM research forward. #cannabis #neuroCAM #sleep

Our Lunch & Learn sessions during this year’s @calgarycorporatechallenge were a hit! Our neuroscientists presented on a variety of topics in 26 sessions—a jump of 11 from last year. Thank you to all the companies who invited Dr. Ty and Dr. Mandy in-person or virtually.

Michael's research targeted the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) a brain region crucial for processing body language. Using rTMS, his goal is to understand how brain function can be improved to better manage the social challenges people face on the autism spectrum.

No tricks, just treats. Get a howling good incentive when you register for Bike Tour 2025. We're already thinking of pedalling for neuro research!! Register today! #branchoutnf #brainsattheirbest #neuroresearch
