Neuropsychology Registry
I am a co-investigator on this project. It is currently approved by REB. This project aims to establish a prospective registry of neuropsychological data which can be combined with data from neurology and fMRI.Retrospective Review
I am a co-investigator on this project. Data entry is well underway. I will be working together with our postdoctoral fellow to identify research questions related to examination of functioning in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy pre and post surgery.In-silico childhood epilepsy surgery
I am involved in assisting with data collection. This is an ongoing study, well under way, where children have pre- and post-surgery neuropsychological evaluations.
Study reveals that sucrose may not reduce the impact of neonatal pain exposure on long-term outcomes
Infants born two to four months early are exposed to mildly painful procedures in the NICU that are essential to monitor their health. As research shows that exposure to daily pain is associated with poorer behavioural and cognitive outcomes later in life, a common pain management strategy is to give those babies sucrose, but a BCCHR study shows evidence that a sugar solution doesn’t reduce these negative effects of pain exposure in the long term.
