Villeneuve Lab

The Villeneuve Lab, located in Verdun, QC, is dedicated to investigating the aging brain, with a particular emphasis on understanding the interplay between brain lesions and cognitive performance in the context of Alzheimer's disease. The lab employs a multi-faceted approach that integrates molecular PET imaging, MRI, neuropsychological testing, and advanced analytic tools to uncover factors that influence cognitive deficits associated with age-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Under the direction of Dr. Sylvia Villeneuve, the lab collaborates closely with the StoP-AD Centre and has produced significant research contributions, including recent studies that explore biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and the application of machine learning in identifying subtypes of frontotemporal dementia. Their work not only sheds light on the mechanisms behind cognitive impairments but also suggests actionable strategies for preventing or delaying the onset of related symptoms.
